SYNOPSIS
|
|
|
|
|
--------
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
**createinvoice** *invstring* *label* *preimage*
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
DESCRIPTION
|
|
|
|
|
-----------
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The **createinvoice** RPC command signs and saves an invoice into the
|
|
|
|
|
database.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The *invstring* parameter is of bolt11 form, but without the final
|
|
|
|
|
signature appended. Minimal sanity checks are done.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The *label* must be a unique string or number (which is treated as a
|
|
|
|
|
string, so "01" is different from "1"); it is never revealed to other
|
|
|
|
|
nodes on the lightning network, but it can be used to query the status
|
|
|
|
|
of this invoice.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The *preimage* is the preimage to supply upon successful payment of
|
|
|
|
|
the invoice.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
RETURN VALUE
|
|
|
|
|
------------
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
On success, an invoice object is returned, as per listinvoices(7).
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
On failure, an error is returned and no invoice is created. If the
|
|
|
|
|
lightning process fails before responding, the caller should use
|
|
|
|
|
lightning-listinvoices(7) to query whether this invoice was created or
|
|
|
|
|
not.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The following error codes may occur:
|
|
|
|
|
- -1: Catchall nonspecific error.
|
|
|
|
|
- 900: An invoice with the given *label* already exists.
