lnget solves the challenge of programmatic access to paid APIs by automatically paying Lightning invoices (L402) when servers respond with HTTP 402, then retrying the request with the valid token.
Download a paid API by running lnget and observe automatic L402 payment, retry, and token caching.

To automate HTTP requests to paid APIs, you use a client that intercepts HTTP 402 responses, automatically pays the Lightning invoice, and retries the request with the valid token. This streamlines access to L402-enabled endpoints.
L402 is a protocol standard where servers return HTTP 402 requiring a Lightning payment. Token management caches these paid tokens per-domain, securely storing and reusing them for subsequent requests to avoid duplicate payments.
You can use external lnd, Lightning Node Connect (LNC), or an embedded neutrino backend to process L402 invoice payments. This backend flexibility accommodates various node configurations and payment routing setups.
You integrate automatic Lightning payments by utilizing a CLI-compatible interface and JSON output within your scripts. This allows agents to trigger HTTP requests, handle L402 payment flows, and parse structured data easily.
You can configure a maximum cost limit to control spending when accessing paid APIs. This prevents unexpected charges by capping the amount the client will automatically pay for L402 invoices during retries.
Requests may fail if the token was not cached properly or the backend rejected the payment. The client retries with the paid token and caches it per-domain, so verifying backend connectivity and token storage usually resolves this.
