​
Description

Creates a new Charge in the Bitcoin Lightning Network, payable by any Lightning-capable wallet.

These payment requests are single-use, fixed-amount QR codes. If you’re looking for multi-use and multi-amount payment requests you want Static Charges.

​
Usage

This API is used for receiving funds into your ZBD Project. The primary idea is to create one of these Charges anytime someone wishes to perform a payment TO you.

On a successful 200 HTTP response from the ZBD API, you should render the contents of data.invoice.uri in a QR code. This QR code can be scanned by any Bitcoin Lightning wallet.
