n8n-nodes-l402-request

This is an n8n community node for L402 endpoints. Lets you make L402 requests using Nostr Wallet Connect.

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 is a fair-code licensed workflow automation platform.
