Using Postman with the ZBD API

Copy the URL https://api.zebedee.io/v0/ln-address/send-payment and paste it into Postman.

Now change the Request Type to POST , which is right next to the URL.

Select the Authorization tab underneath the URL.

Now change the type to API Key . Once that’s done enter apikey for the key input field.

Copy the apikey from the Developer Dashboard and paste it into the value input field.

Head on over to Headers . For the key enter Content-Type and the value application/json .

Select the Body and then select raw under it. With the blue dropdown, change TEXT to JSON .

Copy the body payload from the API Reference and add brackets around it.

Or the copy code and edit the code below.

Note the amount is in msats. 10,000 msats = 10 sats = .00000010 BTC.

Edit the Lightning Address to your own. Get one using the ZEBEDEE App, if you need one.

{
    "lnAddress": "santos@zbd.gg",
    "amount": "10000",
    "comment": "Sending to a Lightning Address"
}

Now click the blue Send button! Congratulations! You just made a Lightning Address payment, which was instant, final, and near-zero fee.
