# Http Invoice Request Server plugin
|
|
|
|
|
|
This plugin starts a minimal, rate limited HTTP Server and returns a invoice on the following GET request:
|
|
|
|
``/invoice/<amount>/<description>``
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
$ lightning-cli invoiceserver
|
|
started server successfully on port 8089
|
|
$ curl http://localhost:8809/invoice/100000/some-text-here
|
|

|
|
```
|
|
|
|
The webserver is rate-limited, meaning that only a certain amount of request per minute is allowed (to prevent DoS attacks).
|
|
|
|
The json invoice can be used by other services, for example a service for tipping, donations, PoS devices, ...
|
|
|
|
|
|
Once the plugin is active you can run `lightning-cli help invoiceserver` to
|
|
learn about the command line API:
|
|
|
|
Commands: `start`/`stop`/`restart`/`status`.
|
|
|
|
In the file `.lightning/bitcoin/.env` the `port` can be set (default 8089).
|
|
|
|
A (reverse)proxy or tunnel should be used in production.
