# Breez Payments REST API
Breez Payments Rest API is a REST API on top of [Breez Nodeless SDK](https://github.com/breez/breez-sdk-liquid) build with fastapi. It enables integrations like [breez-woocommerce](https://github.com/breez/breez-woocommerce). It is built to be easily deployable anywhere, with support for providers with free tier like [fly.io](./fly/README.md).

## API documentation

## API Key Security

X-API-KEY header serves as authorization method for accessing the API. Anyone that knows the API url and API_SECRET can access your funds, so make sure to protect this secret and to generate a unique and long string.
