@foile/crypto-pay-api

Crypto Pay is a payment system based on @CryptoBot, which allows you to accept payments in cryptocurrency using the API.

This library help you to work with Crypto Pay via Crypto Pay API.

Install

npm i @foile/crypto-pay-api

Usage

API

First, you need to create your application and get an API token. Open @CryptoBot or @CryptoTestnetBot (for testnet), send a command /pay to create a new app and get API Token.

Next step: try to call a simple getMe() method to check that everything is working welll:

const { CryptoPay } = require('@foile/crypto-pay-api');
  
const cryptoPay = new CryptoPay(token);
const app = await cryptoPay.getMe();
console.log(app);

You can setup net hostname (defaults to pay.crypt.bot) and protocol in optional param:

const cryptoPay = new CryptoPay(token, {
  hostname: 'testnet-pay.crypt.bot',
  protocol: 'https'
});

Net	Bot	Hostname
mainnet	@CryptoBot	pay.crypt.bot
testnet	@CryptoTestnetBot	testnet-pay.crypt.bot

All queries to the Crypto Pay API must be sent over HTTPS

You can find all available methods in next chapter.

Also, you can get supported assets and paid button names:

const { CryptoPay, Assets, PaidButtonNames } = require('@foile/crypto-pay-api');

const cryptoPay = new CryptoPay(token);
cryptoPay.createInvoice(Assets.BTC, 1, {
  description: 'kitten',
  paid_btn_name: PaidButtonNames.VIEW_ITEM,
  paid_btn_url: 'http://placekitten.com/150',
});

Look full code in the examples directory.

Webhooks

Use Webhooks to get updates for the app.

If you'd like to make sure that the Webhook request comes from Crypto Pay, we recommend using a secret path in the URL, e.g. https://www.example.com/<secret>.

Webhooks will send may at least one time

const cryptoPay = new CryptoPay(token, {
  webhook: {
    serverHostname: 'localhost',
    serverPort: 4200,
    path: '/secret-path'
  },
});

cryptoPay.on('invoice_paid', update => console.log(update.payload));

You can use pretty simple alias methods named from update names:

cryptoPay.invoicePaid(update => console.log(update.payload));
