    description: >
      REST API for creating and managing Bitcoin payment charges. Supports both
      on-chain Bitcoin and Lightning Network BOLT11 invoices. Merchants create a
      charge with an amount and currency, and OpenNode returns a Lightning invoice
      and on-chain address for the customer to pay. Webhooks notify the merchant
      upon payment confirmation. Authentication uses an API key in the Authorization
      header.
