Sending sats to Lightning Address via API
🗓️ Planned

Hey folks, great product!
I have a question: is it possible to spontaneous send sats to a Lightning Address (e.g. blithecourage528066@getalby.com)via API, instead of sending it to a hex-string pubkey (a string starting with 02 or 03)?

Thanks! Keep on doing great job!
With kind regards,
Tony

Glad you found a solution! We also plan to add a API method to do exactly that. The one you found requires two steps (generate an invoice and then pay it). So we can simplify it with a separate API call that does both :-)
