​
Overview

ZBD offers a powerful REST API that supports Bitcoin Lightning Network transactions with various payout and payin methods. Our API uses JSON data structures and makes use of industry standard HTTP response codes.

​
Base URL

The ZBD API is available on the following base URL:

https://api.zebedee.io
If you’re looking for the Sandbox API, that’s available at https://sandbox-api.zebedee.io.

​
Authentication

All ZBD endpoints are protected by an API Key. To make requests against these endpoints you must pass a header property called apikey with your ZBD Project API Key.

apikey: "1PnXYRdcm13gJrHZVzctgCAUIEniVomQR"

​
SSL / HTTPS Access

ZBD only provides a secure interface over HTTPS with SSL certificate support. Any requests that attempt to reach the ZBD API in an insecure fashion (plain-text over HTTP requests) will be rejected.

Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) is the standard security technology for establishing an encrypted link between a server and a client. SSL allows sensitive information such as credit card numbers, social security numbers, and login credentials to be transmitted securely.
