I'm trying to read the results of this call in python running on an Umbrel formatted Pi4

https://api.lightning.community/?python#v1-invoices

Without problem I'm decoding the output from running lncli and I can read the custom_records which just contain the URL and other details of the particular podcast which a key_send payment is linked to.

When I look at the response from the API, however, I can't figure out how to decode it and I get errors with all the usual methods. It looks like base64 but the specifics of getting it decoded have eluded me with errors like

Exception has occurred: UnicodeDecodeError
'utf-8' codec can't decode byte 0xd0 in position 1: invalid continuation byte

API:

        "custom_records": {

And it should decode to this:

  "ts": 235
}

• Some fields are required.
• Some fields are optional.
• Some fields are alternative, for example, if the whole invoice is specified, other fields are duplicate, confusing, alternative.

var requestBody = { 
  payment_request: "lnbc100n1.........",
};

I tried making sense what * or / mean but it’s unclear which is which.

(I'm sorry, too busy, didn't have time to check dev branch)

The definitions section is empty on the REST API docs currently online: https://api.lightning.community/rest/index.html#definitions. This breaks a lot of links to types, making it a lot tougher to know what to pass / what you get back from endpoints.

ruby 2.4.2
firefox 56 (linux)

python render.py crashes because rpc.json that I have is different from what render.py expects.

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "render.py", line 393, in <module>
    render()
  File "render.py", line 352, in render
    rpc_methods = json_proto_to_rpc_dict()
  File "render.py", line 129, in json_proto_to_rpc_dict
    file_services = data[0]['file_services']
KeyError: 0

By changing the keys in render.py, I was able to regenerate the document.

Should I create a pull request?

I can't seem to find it..

Background

the response of openChannel and openChannelSync is not as described.

environment

lnd version 0.5.0-beta commit=a3edcf9cd537ea37a502efc91d262e7017a99e6b
Linux 4.15.0-38-generic #41-Ubuntu 2018 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux
btcd version 0.12.0-beta

Steps to reproduce

print "opening channel with bob:"
response = stub.OpenChannelSync(request, metadata=[('macaroon'), macaroon)])
print "response:",response

Expected behaviour

opening channel with bob:
response: { 
    "funding_txid_bytes": <bytes>,
    "funding_txid_str": <string>,
    "output_index": <uint32>,
}

Actual behaviour

opening channel with bob:
response: funding_txid_bytes: "\366\312\323\014\245d\232\313\013\004\001P\245\341<\002\216\017I\203\214j>ub\364~\255\301e\2275"

In fact, only funding_txid_bytes or funding_txid_str can be set at once (set as a oneof as mentioned by roasbeef), and output_index is not set unless different from 0. This should be mentioned in the documentation.

Additionally, there are multiple typos regarding the (recurring) line:

>>> response = stub.NewAddress(request, metadata=[('macaroon'), macaroon)])

There are always mismatching parenthesis when mentioning metadata[...]. This happens accross the documentation. Not a big issue but still one. Should be changed to:

metadata=[('macaroon', macaroon)])

To reproduce:

• visit https://api.lightning.community/#htlcinterceptor
• click on the link for the ResolveHoldForwardAction type (https://api.lightning.community/#routerrpc-resolveholdforwardaction)
• nothing happens as if content is missing

Removing "routerrpc-" from the query string works: https://api.lightning.community/#resolveholdforwardaction but it references an entry under "gRPC Enums".
