Title: Make programatic payments with bitcoin/lightning
Post by: jeanluca on September 28, 2024, 07:16:53 AM
Good morning BTCers

I would like to experiment with making payments on the lightning network (maybe later bitcoin network too) using code. I'm a NodeJs/Python developer and would like to get started.

The way I see it (as a Noob!) I would run my own Lightning Node and interact with that. Anyway, as all of this is a new topic for me. For example, I found already https://pypi.org/project/pylightning/ (https://pypi.org/project/pylightning/)
but I would like to have a bit more context of what I'm doing. I'm looking for articles that can help met get started programming (in nodejs or python) and Lightning. Any suggestions?

The goal of all this is that I will be able to create an interface that shows me my balance and I can send payment to one or more people in one go.

Thnx
