lightning-createinvoice -- Low-level invoice creation
|
|
=====================================================
|
|
|
|
SYNOPSIS
|
|
--------
|
|
|
|
**createinvoice** *invstring* *label* *preimage*
|
|
|
|
DESCRIPTION
|
|
-----------
|
|
|
|
The **createinvoice** RPC command signs and saves an invoice into the
|
|
database.
|
|
|
|
The *invstring* parameter is of bolt11 form, but without the final
|
|
signature appended. Minimal sanity checks are done. (Note: if
|
|
**experimental-offers** is enabled, *invstring* can actually be an
|
|
unsigned bolt12 invoice).
|
|
|
|
The *label* must be a unique string or number (which is treated as a
|
|
string, so "01" is different from "1"); it is never revealed to other
|
|
nodes on the lightning network, but it can be used to query the status
|
|
of this invoice.
|
|
|
|
The *preimage* is the preimage to supply upon successful payment of
|
|
the invoice.
|
|
|
|
RETURN VALUE
|
|
------------
|
|
|
|
(Note: the return format is the same as lightning-listinvoices(7)).
|

|
On success, an object is returned, containing:
|
|
- **label** (string): the label for the invoice
|
|
- **payment_hash** (hash): the hash of the *payment_preimage* which will prove payment (always 64 characters)
|
|
- **status** (string): Whether it has been paid, or can no longer be paid (one of "paid", "expired", "unpaid")
|
|
- **description** (string): Description extracted from **bolt11** or **bolt12**
|
|
- **expires_at** (u64): UNIX timestamp of when invoice expires (or expired)
|
|
- **bolt11** (string, optional): the bolt11 string (always present unless **bolt12** is)
|
|
- **bolt12** (string, optional): the bolt12 string instead of **bolt11** (**experimental-offers** only)
|
|
- **amount_msat** (msat, optional): The amount of the invoice (if it has one)
|
|
- **pay_index** (u64, optional): Incrementing id for when this was paid (**status** *paid* only)
|
|
- **amount_received_msat** (msat, optional): Amount actually received (**status** *paid* only)
|
|
- **paid_at** (u64, optional): UNIX timestamp of when invoice was paid (**status** *paid* only)
|
|
- **payment_preimage** (secret, optional): the proof of payment: SHA256 of this **payment_hash** (always 64 characters)
|
|
- **local_offer_id** (hex, optional): the *id* of our offer which created this invoice (**experimental-offers** only). (always 64 characters)
|
|
- **payer_note** (string, optional): the optional *payer_note* from invoice_request which created this invoice (**experimental-offers** only).

|
|
|
|
On failure, an error is returned and no invoice is created. If the
|
|
lightning process fails before responding, the caller should use
|
|
lightning-listinvoices(7) to query whether this invoice was created or
|
|
not.
|
|
|
|
The following error codes may occur:
|
|
- -1: Catchall nonspecific error.
|
|
- 900: An invoice with the given *label* already exists.
