LLM Prompt L402 API

GPT-4o-mini access with 128 token limit. Quick AI completions.

500 sats per call, paid over the Lightning Network. No API key and no signup: the request returns 402 Payment Required, the caller pays the invoice, and retries with the proof of payment.

l402_llm_prompt 500 sats

Parameters

prompt Your prompt text

Call it with curl

The first call answers 402 with a Lightning invoice in the WWW-Authenticate header. Pay it from any Lightning wallet, then repeat the call with the L402 token and preimage.

curl -X POST https://lightningfaucet.com/api/ \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -H "Authorization: L402 $MACAROON:$PREIMAGE" \
  -d '{"action":"l402_llm_prompt","prompt":"Summarize the Lightning Network in two sentences."}'

Call it from an AI agent

With lightning-wallet-mcp the payment is handled for you. From the CLI:

lw pay-api "https://lightningfaucet.com/api/l402/llm_prompt?prompt=Summarize+the+Lightning+Network+in+two+sentences."

In Claude Code, Cursor or any MCP host, ask the agent to call pay_l402_api with that URL. The fee is 1% of the price, rounded down, so calls under 100 sats carry no platform fee.
