## How to call it through Zero

Zero handles the 402 payment challenge and records the run. With the Zero CLI installed (`npm i -g @zeroxyz/cli`):

```sh
zero fetch --capability agent-data-tools-lightning-invoice-decoder-de25b6f0
```

Example prompt: Can you decode this Lightning invoice for me and tell me how much it's for and whether it's expired? lnbc2500u1pvjluezpp5qqqsyqcyq5rqwzqfqqqsyqcyq5rqwzqfqqqsyqcyq5rqwzqfqypqdq5xysxxatsyp3k7enxv4jsxqzpuaztrnwngzn3kdzygauqzpkklvs234tgk0lpk0lsmxvzzwv9zsk9gqjm63

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need to programmatically decode a BOLT11 Lightning Network invoice string without running a full Lightning node. It is ideal for agents that need to verify invoice amounts, check expiry, or extract payment hashes before authorizing or logging a payment. Pay-per-call with no API key required makes it suitable for lightweight, occasional invoice inspection tasks.

## Known failure modes

- Invalid or malformed BOLT11 invoice string returns an error
- Missing 'invoice' query parameter results in a validation error
- Testnet invoices (lntb...) may differ in network field behavior
- Very old invoices may parse correctly but show expired:true

## How this service works

Pay-per-call tools for AI agents: web page text extraction and summaries, screenshots, image generation, speech-to-text, image description, domain and email-auth intelligence, and live Base token and wallet lookups. No account or API key; pay per request in USDC on Base via x402.

## Output

Returns a JSON object with the decoded invoice fields: expired (boolean), network (e.g. 'bitcoin'), amountBtc, amountSats, createdAt (ISO timestamp), expiresAt (ISO timestamp), expirySeconds, description (payment memo), and paymentHash.
