Developer Portal


For Web Apps

At Alby we build on open standards. Alby exposes a number of javascript objects to the browser, which can be used to interact with bitcoin onchain (WebBTC), bitcoin lightning (WebLN), Nostr, Liquid, and more.

For Web and Mobile Apps

Have a look at the Alby Wallet API documentation:

For Receiving Payments

You can request invoices from your Alby lightning address and use Lightning Tools to verify whether a payment has been made in order to execute additional logic.

For Making Payments

You can send payments using your personal Alby account using Nostr Wallet Connect or the LndHub API.

Alby Meta Tags

Customize the Alby experience and provide meta data to Alby interactions on your website.

Customize recipient meta data

Bounties

We publish all kinds of bounties for developers, designers and content creators. Have a look if you want to hunt or fund one of the bounties.
