How this service works
Decode a BOLT11 Lightning invoice (network, amount, payment_hash, description). ?invoice=lnbc...
Output
Returns the decoded fields of the BOLT11 invoice including: the Lightning network (mainnet/testnet), the invoice amount in millisatoshis or satoshis, the payment hash (SHA-256 preimage hash), and the human-readable description/memo attached to the invoice.
Example use cases
Verify payment amount before paying
“Before I pay this Lightning invoice, can you decode it and tell me what amount it's requesting and what the description says? The invoice is lnbc1500n1pj9qhvqzpp5...”
Extract payment hash for record keeping
“I need the payment hash from this BOLT11 invoice for my records — can you decode lnbc250u1p3abc123... and pull out the payment_hash field?”
Check which Lightning network an invoice is for
“Is this a mainnet or testnet Lightning invoice? Can you decode lntb10m1p0n3abc... and tell me which network it's on?”
Technical details
Endpoint
GEThttps://pyfile-agent.taile3ff35.ts.net/data/bolt11/decodeWhen to prefer
Use this endpoint when you need to programmatically inspect a BOLT11 Lightning invoice without paying it — ideal for extracting payment metadata, verifying amounts before payment, logging payment hashes, or distinguishing mainnet from testnet invoices. Prefer this over manual parsing when automating Lightning payment workflows.
Side effects
- Invalid or malformed BOLT11 string returns an error
- Missing invoice query parameter causes a bad request response
- Expired invoices may still decode successfully but are flagged as expired
- Non-BOLT11 strings (e.g. Bitcoin addresses) will fail to parse
