# n8n-nodes-l402-request



This is an [n8n](n8n.io) community node for [L402](https://docs.lightning.engineering/the-lightning-network/l402) endpoints. Lets you make L402 requests using [Nostr Wallet Connect](https://nwc.getalby.com/).



L402, formerly known as LSAT, is a standard to support the use case of charging for services and authenticating users in distributed networks. It combines the strengths of Macaroons for better authentication with the strengths of the Lightning Network for better payments.



[n8n](n8n.io) is a [fair-code licensed](https://docs.n8n.io/reference/license/) workflow automation platform.



## How to install



### Community Nodes (Recommended)

- Go to **Settings > Community Nodes**.

- Select **Install**.

- Enter `@getalby/n8n-nodes-l402-request` in **Enter npm Package Name**.

- Agree to the [risks](https://docs.n8n.io/integrations/community-nodes/risks/) of using community nodes: select **I understand the risks of installing unverified code from a public source**.

After installing the node, you can use it like any other node. n8n displays the node in search results in the Nodes panel.



### Manual installation



To get started install the package in your n8n root directory:



`npm install n8n-nodes-l402-request`



For Docker-based deployments, add the following line before the font installation command in your n8n Dockerfile:



`RUN cd /usr/local/lib/node_modules/n8n && npm install n8n-nodes-l402-request`



## NWC Setup



In order to make payments for the L402 Requests, you have to add L402 credentials which would be your [Nostr Wallet Connect](https://nwc.getalby.com/) connection string.



First login to NWC using your [Alby](https://getalby.com) Account.
