Loop gRPC API Reference
Welcome to the gRPC API reference documentation for Lightning Loop.
Lightning Loop is a non-custodial service offered by Lightning Labs to bridge
on-chain and off-chain Bitcoin using submarine swaps. This repository is home to
the Loop client and depends on the Lightning Network daemon lnd. All of lnd’s
supported chain backends are fully supported when using the Loop client:
Neutrino, Bitcoin Core, and btcd.
The service can be used in various situations:
- Acquiring inbound channel liquidity from arbitrary nodes on the Lightning
network
- Depositing funds to a Bitcoin on-chain address without closing active
channels
- Paying to on-chain fallback addresses in the case of insufficient route
liquidity
- Refilling depleted channels with funds from cold-wallets or exchange
withdrawals
- Servicing off-chain Lightning withdrawals using on-chain payments, with no
funds in channels required
- As a failsafe payment method that can be used when channel liquidity along a
route is insufficient
This site features the documentation for loop (CLI), and the API documentation
for Python and JavaScript clients in order to communicate with a local loopd
instance through gRPC. Currently, this communication is unauthenticated, so
exposing this service to the internet is not recommended.
The original *.proto files from which the gRPC documentation was generated
can be found here:
This is the reference for the gRPC API. Alternatively, there is also a REST
API which is documented here.
This documentation was
generated automatically against commit
0d1cb3e5d6575d77caa11bae730024cdf0048ed6.

This request has no parameters.
| Parameter |
Type |
Description |
| rules |
array LiquidityRule |
A set of liquidity rules that describe the desired liquidity balance. |
| fee_ppm |
uint64 |
The parts per million of swap amount that is allowed to be allocated to swap fees. This value is applied across swap categories and may not be set in conjunction with sweep fee rate, swap fee ppm, routing fee ppm, prepay routing, max prepay and max miner fee. |
| sweep_fee_rate_sat_per_vbyte |
uint64 |
The limit we place on our estimated sweep cost for a swap in sat/vByte. If the estimated fee for our sweep transaction within the specified confirmation target is above this value, we will not suggest any swaps. |
| max_swap_fee_ppm |
uint64 |
The maximum fee paid to the server for facilitating the swap, expressed as parts per million of the swap volume. |
| max_routing_fee_ppm |
uint64 |
The maximum fee paid to route the swap invoice off chain, expressed as parts per million of the volume being routed. |
| max_prepay_routing_fee_ppm |
uint64 |
The maximum fee paid to route the prepay invoice off chain, expressed as parts per million of the volume being routed. |
| max_prepay_sat |
uint64 |
The maximum no-show penalty in satoshis paid for a swap. |
| max_miner_fee_sat |
uint64 |
The maximum miner fee we will pay to sweep the swap on chain. Note that we will not suggest a swap if the estimate is above the sweep limit set by these parameters, and we use the current fee estimate to sweep on chain so this value is only a cap placed on the amount we spend on fees in the case where the swap needs to be claimed on chain, but fees have suddenly spiked. |
| sweep_conf_target |
int32 |
The number of blocks from the on-chain HTLC's confirmation height that it should be swept within. |
| failure_backoff_sec |
uint64 |
The amount of time we require pass since a channel was part of a failed swap due to off chain payment failure until it will be considered for swap suggestions again, expressed in seconds. |
| autoloop |
bool |
Set to true to enable automatic dispatch of swaps. All swaps will be limited to the fee categories set by these parameters, and total expenditure will be limited to the autoloop budget. |
| autoloop_budget_sat |
uint64 |
The total budget for automatically dispatched swaps since the budget start time, expressed in satoshis. |
| autoloop_budget_start_sec |
uint64 |
The start time for autoloop budget, expressed as a unix timestamp in seconds. If this value is 0, the budget will be applied for all automatically dispatched swaps. Swaps that were completed before this date will not be included in budget calculations. |
| auto_max_in_flight |
uint64 |
The maximum number of automatically dispatched swaps that we allow to be in flight at any point in time. |
| min_swap_amount |
uint64 |
The minimum amount, expressed in satoshis, that the autoloop client will dispatch a swap for. This value is subject to the server-side limits specified by the LoopOutTerms endpoint. |
| max_swap_amount |
uint64 |
The maximum amount, expressed in satoshis, that the autoloop client will dispatch a swap for. This value is subject to the server-side limits specified by the LoopOutTerms endpoint. |
| htlc_conf_target |
int32 |
The confirmation target for loop in on-chain htlcs. |

// }
| Parameter |
Type |
Description |
| amt |
int64 |
The amount to swap in satoshis. |
| conf_target |
int32 |
The confirmation target that should be used either for the sweep of the on-chain HTLC broadcast by the swap server in the case of a Loop Out, or for the confirmation of the on-chain HTLC broadcast by the swap client in the case of a Loop In. |
| external_htlc |
bool |
If external_htlc is true, we expect the htlc to be published by an external actor. |
| swap_publication_deadline |
uint64 |
The latest time (in unix seconds) we allow the server to wait before publishing the HTLC on chain. Setting this to a larger value will give the server the opportunity to batch multiple swaps together, and wait for low-fee periods before publishing the HTLC, potentially resulting in a lower total swap fee. This only has an effect on loop out quotes. |
| loop_in_last_hop |
bytes |
Optionally the client can specify the last hop pubkey when requesting a loop-in quote. This is useful to get better off-chain routing fee from the server. |
| loop_in_route_hints |
array RouteHint |
Optional route hints to reach the destination through private channels. |
| private |
bool |
Private indicates whether the destination node should be considered private. In which case, loop will generate hophints to assist with probing and payment. |
| Parameter |
Type |
Description |
| swap_fee_sat |
int64 |
The fee that the swap server is charging for the swap. |
| htlc_publish_fee_sat |
int64 |
An estimate of the on-chain fee that needs to be paid to publish the HTLC If a miner fee of 0 is returned, it means the external_htlc flag was set for a loop in and the fee estimation was skipped. If a miner fee of -1 is returned, it means lnd's wallet tried to estimate the fee but was unable to create a sample estimation transaction because not enough funds are available. An information message should be shown to the user in this case. |
| cltv_delta |
int32 |
On-chain cltv expiry delta |
| conf_target |
int32 |
The confirmation target to be used to publish the on-chain HTLC. |

| Parameter |
Type |
Description |
| amt |
int64 |
Requested swap amount in sat. This does not include the swap and miner fee. |
| max_swap_fee |
int64 |
Maximum we are willing to pay the server for the swap. This value is not disclosed in the swap initiation call, but if the server asks for a higher fee, we abort the swap. Typically this value is taken from the response of the GetQuote call. |
| max_miner_fee |
int64 |
Maximum in on-chain fees that we are willing to spend. If we want to publish the on-chain htlc and the fee estimate turns out higher than this value, we cancel the swap. max_miner_fee is typically taken from the response of the GetQuote call. |
| last_hop |
bytes |
The last hop to use for the loop in swap. If empty, the last hop is selected based on the lowest routing fee for the swap payment from the server. |
| external_htlc |
bool |
If external_htlc is true, we expect the htlc to be published by an external actor. |
| htlc_conf_target |
int32 |
The number of blocks that the on chain htlc should confirm within. |
| label |
string |
An optional label for this swap. This field is limited to 500 characters and may not be one of the reserved values in loop/labels Reserved list. |
| initiator |
string |
An optional identification string that will be appended to the user agent string sent to the server to give information about the usage of loop. This initiator part is meant for user interfaces to add their name to give the full picture of the binary used (loopd, LiT) and the method used for triggering the swap (loop CLI, autolooper, LiT UI, other 3rd party UI). |
| route_hints |
array RouteHint |
Optional route hints to reach the destination through private channels. |
| private |
bool |
Private indicates whether the destination node should be considered private. In which case, loop will generate hophints to assist with probing and payment. |
| Parameter |
Type |
Description |
| id |
string |
Swap identifier to track status in the update stream that is returned from the Start() call. Currently this is the hash that locks the htlcs. DEPRECATED: To make the API more consistent, this field is deprecated in favor of id_bytes and will be removed in a future release. |
| id_bytes |
bytes |
Swap identifier to track status in the update stream that is returned from the Start() call. Currently this is the hash that locks the htlcs. |
| htlc_address |
string |
DEPRECATED. This field stores the address of the onchain htlc, but depending on the request, the semantics are different. - For internal loop-in htlc_address contains the address of the native segwit (P2WSH) htlc. - For external loop-in htlc_address contains the address of the nested segwit (NP2WSH) htlc. - For loop-out htlc_address always contains the native segwit (P2WSH) htlc address. |
| htlc_address_np2wsh |
string |
The nested segwit address of the on-chain htlc. This field remains empty for loop-out. |
| htlc_address_p2wsh |
string |
The native segwit address of the on-chain htlc. Used for both loop-in and loop-out. |
| server_message |
string |
A human-readable message received from the loop server. |
SwapClient.LoopOut
Unary RPC
LoopOut initiates an loop out swap with the given parameters. The call returns after the swap has been set up with the swap server. From that point onwards, progress can be tracked via the SwapStatus stream that is returned from Monitor().
# Attempts to loop out the target amount into either the backing lnd's
# wallet, or a targeted address.
# The amount is to be specified in satoshis.
# Optionally a BASE58/bech32 encoded bitcoin destination address may be
# specified. If not specified, a new wallet address will be generated.
$ loop out [command options] amt [addr]
# --channel value the comma-separated list of short channel IDs of the channels to loop out
# --addr value the optional address that the looped out funds should be sent to, if let blank the funds will go to lnd's wallet
# --amt value the amount in satoshis to loop out (default: 0)
# --htlc_confs value the number of confirmations (in blocks) that we require for the htlc extended by the server before we reveal the preimage. (default: 1)
# --conf_target value the number of blocks from the swap initiation height that the on-chain HTLC should be swept within (default: 9)
# --max_swap_routing_fee value the max off-chain swap routing fee in satoshis, if not specified, a default max fee will be used (default: 0)
# --fast Indicate you want to swap immediately, paying potentially a higher fee. If not set the swap server might choose to wait up to 30 minutes before publishing the swap HTLC on-chain, to save on its chain fees. Not setting this flag therefore might result in a lower swap fee.
# --force, -f Assumes yes during confirmation. Using this option will result in an immediate swap

| Parameter |
Type |
Description |
| amt |
int64 |
Requested swap amount in sat. This does not include the swap and miner fee. |
| dest |
string |
Base58 encoded destination address for the swap. |
| max_swap_routing_fee |
int64 |
Maximum off-chain fee in sat that may be paid for swap payment to the server. This limit is applied during path finding. Typically this value is taken from the response of the GetQuote call. |
| max_prepay_routing_fee |
int64 |
Maximum off-chain fee in sat that may be paid for the prepay to the server. This limit is applied during path finding. Typically this value is taken from the response of the GetQuote call. |
| max_swap_fee |
int64 |
Maximum we are willing to pay the server for the swap. This value is not disclosed in the swap initiation call, but if the server asks for a higher fee, we abort the swap. Typically this value is taken from the response of the GetQuote call. It includes the prepay amount. |
| max_prepay_amt |
int64 |
Maximum amount of the swap fee that may be charged as a prepayment. |
| max_miner_fee |
int64 |
Maximum in on-chain fees that we are willing to spend. If we want to sweep the on-chain htlc and the fee estimate turns out higher than this value, we cancel the swap. If the fee estimate is lower, we publish the sweep tx. If the sweep tx is not confirmed, we are forced to ratchet up fees until it is swept. Possibly even exceeding max_miner_fee if we get close to the htlc timeout. Because the initial publication revealed the preimage, we have no other choice. The server may already have pulled the off-chain htlc. Only when the fee becomes higher than the swap amount, we can only wait for fees to come down and hope - if we are past the timeout - that the server is not publishing the revocation. max_miner_fee is typically taken from the response of the GetQuote call. |
| loop_out_channel |
uint64 |
Deprecated, use outgoing_chan_set. The channel to loop out, the channel to loop out is selected based on the lowest routing fee for the swap payment to the server. |
| outgoing_chan_set |
array uint64 |
A restriction on the channel set that may be used to loop out. The actual channel(s) that will be used are selected based on the lowest routing fee for the swap payment to the server. |
| sweep_conf_target |
int32 |
The number of blocks from the on-chain HTLC's confirmation height that it should be swept within. |
| htlc_confirmations |
int32 |
The number of confirmations that we require for the on chain htlc that will be published by the server before we reveal the preimage. |
| swap_publication_deadline |
uint64 |
The latest time (in unix seconds) we allow the server to wait before publishing the HTLC on chain. Setting this to a larger value will give the server the opportunity to batch multiple swaps together, and wait for low-fee periods before publishing the HTLC, potentially resulting in a lower total swap fee. |
| label |
string |
An optional label for this swap. This field is limited to 500 characters and may not start with the prefix [reserved], which is used to tag labels produced by the daemon. |
| initiator |
string |
An optional identification string that will be appended to the user agent string sent to the server to give information about the usage of loop. This initiator part is meant for user interfaces to add their name to give the full picture of the binary used (loopd, LiT) and the method used for triggering the swap (loop CLI, autolooper, LiT UI, other 3rd party UI). |
| Parameter |
Type |
Description |
| id |
string |
Swap identifier to track status in the update stream that is returned from the Start() call. Currently this is the hash that locks the htlcs. DEPRECATED: To make the API more consistent, this field is deprecated in favor of id_bytes and will be removed in a future release. |
| id_bytes |
bytes |
Swap identifier to track status in the update stream that is returned from the Start() call. Currently this is the hash that locks the htlcs. |
| htlc_address |
string |
DEPRECATED. This field stores the address of the onchain htlc, but depending on the request, the semantics are different. - For internal loop-in htlc_address contains the address of the native segwit (P2WSH) htlc. - For external loop-in htlc_address contains the address of the nested segwit (NP2WSH) htlc. - For loop-out htlc_address always contains the native segwit (P2WSH) htlc address. |
| htlc_address_np2wsh |
string |
The nested segwit address of the on-chain htlc. This field remains empty for loop-out. |
| htlc_address_p2wsh |
string |
The native segwit address of the on-chain htlc. Used for both loop-in and loop-out. |
| server_message |
string |
A human-readable message received from the loop server. |

| sweep_fee_rate_sat_per_vbyte |
uint64 |
The limit we place on our estimated sweep cost for a swap in sat/vByte. If the estimated fee for our sweep transaction within the specified confirmation target is above this value, we will not suggest any swaps. |

Description |
| amt |
int64 |
Requested swap amount in sat. This does not include the swap and miner fee. |
| max_swap_fee |
int64 |
Maximum we are willing to pay the server for the swap. This value is not disclosed in the swap initiation call, but if the server asks for a higher fee, we abort the swap. Typically this value is taken from the response of the GetQuote call. |
| max_miner_fee |
int64 |
Maximum in on-chain fees that we are willing to spend. If we want to publish the on-chain htlc and the fee estimate turns out higher than this value, we cancel the swap. max_miner_fee is typically taken from the response of the GetQuote call. |
| last_hop |
bytes |
The last hop to use for the loop in swap. If empty, the last hop is selected based on the lowest routing fee for the swap payment from the server. |
| external_htlc |
bool |

| label |
string |
An optional label for this swap. This field is limited to 500 characters and may not be one of the reserved values in loop/labels Reserved list. |
| initiator |
string |
An optional identification string that will be appended to the user agent string sent to the server to give information about the usage of loop. This initiator part is meant for user interfaces to add their name to give the full picture of the binary used (loopd, LiT) and the method used for triggering the swap (loop CLI, autolooper, LiT UI, other 3rd party UI). |
| route_hints |
array RouteHint |
Optional route hints to reach the destination through private channels. |
| private |
bool |
Private indicates whether the destination node should be considered private. In which case, loop will generate hophints to assist with probing and payment. |
looprpc.LoopOutRequest
| Parameter |
Type |
Description |
| amt |
int64 |
Requested swap amount in sat. This does not include the swap and miner fee. |
| dest |
string |
Base58 encoded destination address for the swap. |
| max_swap_routing_fee |
int64 |
Maximum off-chain fee in sat that may be paid for swap payment to the server. This limit is applied during path finding. Typically this value is taken from the response of the GetQuote call. |

| max_swap_fee |
int64 |
Maximum we are willing to pay the server for the swap. This value is not disclosed in the swap initiation call, but if the server asks for a higher fee, we abort the swap. Typically this value is taken from the response of the GetQuote call. It includes the prepay amount. |
| max_prepay_amt |
int64 |
Maximum amount of the swap fee that may be charged as a prepayment. |
| max_miner_fee |
int64 |
Maximum in on-chain fees that we are willing to spend. If we want to sweep the on-chain htlc and the fee estimate turns out higher than this value, we cancel the swap. If the fee estimate is lower, we publish the sweep tx. If the sweep tx is not confirmed, we are forced to ratchet up fees until it is swept. Possibly even exceeding max_miner_fee if we get close to the htlc timeout. Because the initial publication revealed the preimage, we have no other choice. The server may already have pulled the off-chain htlc. Only when the fee becomes higher than the swap amount, we can only wait for fees to come down and hope - if we are past the timeout - that the server is not publishing the revocation. max_miner_fee is typically taken from the response of the GetQuote call. |
| loop_out_channel |

| swap_publication_deadline |
uint64 |
The latest time (in unix seconds) we allow the server to wait before publishing the HTLC on chain. Setting this to a larger value will give the server the opportunity to batch multiple swaps together, and wait for low-fee periods before publishing the HTLC, potentially resulting in a lower total swap fee. |
| label |
string |
An optional label for this swap. This field is limited to 500 characters and may not start with the prefix [reserved], which is used to tag labels produced by the daemon. |
| initiator |
string |
An optional identification string that will be appended to the user agent string sent to the server to give information about the usage of loop. This initiator part is meant for user interfaces to add their name to give the full picture of the binary used (loopd, LiT) and the method used for triggering the swap (loop CLI, autolooper, LiT UI, other 3rd party UI). |

Loop REST API Reference
Welcome to the REST API reference documentation for Lightning Loop.
Lightning Loop is a non-custodial service offered by Lightning Labs to bridge
on-chain and off-chain Bitcoin using submarine swaps. This repository is home to
the Loop client and depends on the Lightning Network daemon lnd. All of lnd’s
supported chain backends are fully supported when using the Loop client:
Neutrino, Bitcoin Core, and btcd.
The service can be used in various situations:
- Acquiring inbound channel liquidity from arbitrary nodes on the Lightning
network
- Depositing funds to a Bitcoin on-chain address without closing active
channels
- Paying to on-chain fallback addresses in the case of insufficient route
liquidity
- Refilling depleted channels with funds from cold-wallets or exchange
withdrawals
- Servicing off-chain Lightning withdrawals using on-chain payments, with no
funds in channels required
- As a failsafe payment method that can be used when channel liquidity along a
route is insufficient
This site features the API documentation for shell script (CLI), Python and
JavaScript clients in order to communicate with a local loopd instance through
gRPC. Currently, this communication is unauthenticated, so exposing this service
to the internet is not recommended.
The original *.swagger.js files from which the gRPC documentation was generated
can be found here:
NOTE: The byte field type must be set as the base64 encoded string
representation of a raw byte array. Also, any time this must be used in a URL path
(ie. /v1/abc/xyz/{payment_hash}) the base64 string must be encoded using a
URL and Filename Safe Alphabet. This means you must replace + with -,
/ with _, and keep the trailing = as is. Url encoding (ie. %2F) will not work.
This is the reference for the REST API. Alternatively, there is also a gRPC
API which is documented here.
This documentation was

This request has no parameters.
Response
| Field |
Type |
Description |
| rules |
array looprpcLiquidityRule |
A set of liquidity rules that describe the desired liquidity balance. |
| fee_ppm |
string |
The parts per million of swap amount that is allowed to be allocated to swap fees. This value is applied across swap categories and may not be set in conjunction with sweep fee rate, swap fee ppm, routing fee ppm, prepay routing, max prepay and max miner fee. |
| sweep_fee_rate_sat_per_vbyte |
string |
The limit we place on our estimated sweep cost for a swap in sat/vByte. If the estimated fee for our sweep transaction within the specified confirmation target is above this value, we will not suggest any swaps. |
| max_swap_fee_ppm |
string |
The maximum fee paid to the server for facilitating the swap, expressed as parts per million of the swap volume. |
| max_routing_fee_ppm |
string |
The maximum fee paid to route the swap invoice off chain, expressed as parts per million of the volume being routed. |
| max_prepay_routing_fee_ppm |
string |
The maximum fee paid to route the prepay invoice off chain, expressed as parts per million of the volume being routed. |
| max_prepay_sat |
string |
The maximum no-show penalty in satoshis paid for a swap. |
| max_miner_fee_sat |
string |
The maximum miner fee we will pay to sweep the swap on chain. Note that we will not suggest a swap if the estimate is above the sweep limit set by these parameters, and we use the current fee estimate to sweep on chain so this value is only a cap placed on the amount we spend on fees in the case where the swap needs to be claimed on chain, but fees have suddenly spiked. |
| sweep_conf_target |
int32 |
The number of blocks from the on-chain HTLC's confirmation height that it should be swept within. |
| failure_backoff_sec |
string |
The amount of time we require pass since a channel was part of a failed swap due to off chain payment failure until it will be considered for swap suggestions again, expressed in seconds. |
| autoloop |
boolean |
Set to true to enable automatic dispatch of swaps. All swaps will be limited to the fee categories set by these parameters, and total expenditure will be limited to the autoloop budget. |
| autoloop_budget_sat |
string |
The total budget for automatically dispatched swaps since the budget start time, expressed in satoshis. |
| autoloop_budget_start_sec |
string |
The start time for autoloop budget, expressed as a unix timestamp in seconds. If this value is 0, the budget will be applied for all automatically dispatched swaps. Swaps that were completed before this date will not be included in budget calculations. |
| auto_max_in_flight |
string |
The maximum number of automatically dispatched swaps that we allow to be in flight at any point in time. |
| min_swap_amount |
string |
The minimum amount, expressed in satoshis, that the autoloop client will dispatch a swap for. This value is subject to the server-side limits specified by the LoopOutTerms endpoint. |
| max_swap_amount |
string |
The maximum amount, expressed in satoshis, that the autoloop client will dispatch a swap for. This value is subject to the server-side limits specified by the LoopOutTerms endpoint. |
| htlc_conf_target |
int32 |
The confirmation target for loop in on-chain htlcs. |

string |
body |
Requested swap amount in sat. This does not include the swap and miner fee. |
| max_swap_fee |
string |
body |
Maximum we are willing to pay the server for the swap. This value is not disclosed in the swap initiation call, but if the server asks for a higher fee, we abort the swap. Typically this value is taken from the response of the GetQuote call. |
| max_miner_fee |
string |
body |
Maximum in on-chain fees that we are willing to spend. If we want to publish the on-chain htlc and the fee estimate turns out higher than this value, we cancel the swap. max_miner_fee is typically taken from the response of the GetQuote call. |

byte |
body |
The last hop to use for the loop in swap. If empty, the last hop is selected based on the lowest routing fee for the swap payment from the server. |

If external_htlc is true, we expect the htlc to be published by an external actor. |
| htlc_conf_target |
int32 |
body |
The number of blocks that the on chain htlc should confirm within. |
| label |
string |
body |
An optional label for this swap. This field is limited to 500 characters and may not be one of the reserved values in loop/labels Reserved list. |
| initiator |
string |
body |
An optional identification string that will be appended to the user agent string sent to the server to give information about the usage of loop. This initiator part is meant for user interfaces to add their name to give the full picture of the binary used (loopd, LiT) and the method used for triggering the swap (loop CLI, autolooper, LiT UI, other 3rd party UI). |
| route_hints |
array looprpcRouteHint |
body |
Optional route hints to reach the destination through private channels. |
| private |

| htlc_address |
string |
DEPRECATED. This field stores the address of the onchain htlc, but depending on the request, the semantics are different. - For internal loop-in htlc_address contains the address of the native segwit (P2WSH) htlc. - For external loop-in htlc_address contains the address of the nested segwit (NP2WSH) htlc. - For loop-out htlc_address always contains the native segwit (P2WSH) htlc address. |

loop: quote GetQuote returns a quote for a swap with the provided parameters.
| Field |
Type |
Placement |
Description |
| amt |
string |
path |
The amount to swap in satoshis. |
| conf_target |
int32 |
query |
The confirmation target that should be used either for the sweep of the on-chain HTLC broadcast by the swap server in the case of a Loop Out, or for the confirmation of the on-chain HTLC broadcast by the swap client in the case of a Loop In. |
| external_htlc |
boolean |
query |
If external_htlc is true, we expect the htlc to be published by an external actor. |
| swap_publication_deadline |
string |
query |
The latest time (in unix seconds) we allow the server to wait before publishing the HTLC on chain. Setting this to a larger value will give the server the opportunity to batch multiple swaps together, and wait for low-fee periods before publishing the HTLC, potentially resulting in a lower total swap fee. This only has an effect on loop out quotes. |
| loop_in_last_hop |
string |
query |
Optionally the client can specify the last hop pubkey when requesting a loop-in quote. This is useful to get better off-chain routing fee from the server. |
| private |
boolean |
query |
Private indicates whether the destination node should be considered private. In which case, loop will generate hophints to assist with probing and payment. |
Response
| Field |
Type |
Description |
| swap_fee_sat |
string |
The fee that the swap server is charging for the swap. |
| htlc_publish_fee_sat |
string |
An estimate of the on-chain fee that needs to be paid to publish the HTLC If a miner fee of 0 is returned, it means the external_htlc flag was set for a loop in and the fee estimation was skipped. If a miner fee of -1 is returned, it means lnd's wallet tried to estimate the fee but was unable to create a sample estimation transaction because not enough funds are available. An information message should be shown to the user in this case. |
| cltv_delta |
int32 |
On-chain cltv expiry delta |
| conf_target |
int32 |
The confirmation target to be used to publish the on-chain HTLC. |

| Field |
Type |
Placement |
Description |
| amt |
string |
body |
Requested swap amount in sat. This does not include the swap and miner fee. |
| dest |
string |
body |
Base58 encoded destination address for the swap. |
| max_swap_routing_fee |
string |
body |
Maximum off-chain fee in sat that may be paid for swap payment to the server. This limit is applied during path finding. Typically this value is taken from the response of the GetQuote call. |
| max_prepay_routing_fee |
string |
body |
Maximum off-chain fee in sat that may be paid for the prepay to the server. This limit is applied during path finding. Typically this value is taken from the response of the GetQuote call. |
| max_swap_fee |
string |
body |
Maximum we are willing to pay the server for the swap. This value is not disclosed in the swap initiation call, but if the server asks for a higher fee, we abort the swap. Typically this value is taken from the response of the GetQuote call. It includes the prepay amount. |
| max_prepay_amt |
string |
body |
Maximum amount of the swap fee that may be charged as a prepayment. |
| max_miner_fee |
string |
body |
Maximum in on-chain fees that we are willing to spend. If we want to sweep the on-chain htlc and the fee estimate turns out higher than this value, we cancel the swap. If the fee estimate is lower, we publish the sweep tx. If the sweep tx is not confirmed, we are forced to ratchet up fees until it is swept. Possibly even exceeding max_miner_fee if we get close to the htlc timeout. Because the initial publication revealed the preimage, we have no other choice. The server may already have pulled the off-chain htlc. Only when the fee becomes higher than the swap amount, we can only wait for fees to come down and hope - if we are past the timeout - that the server is not publishing the revocation. max_miner_fee is typically taken from the response of the GetQuote call. |
| loop_out_channel |
string |
body |
Deprecated, use outgoing_chan_set. The channel to loop out, the channel to loop out is selected based on the lowest routing fee for the swap payment to the server. |
| outgoing_chan_set |
array string |
body |
A restriction on the channel set that may be used to loop out. The actual channel(s) that will be used are selected based on the lowest routing fee for the swap payment to the server. |
| sweep_conf_target |
int32 |
body |
The number of blocks from the on-chain HTLC's confirmation height that it should be swept within. |
| htlc_confirmations |
int32 |
body |
The number of confirmations that we require for the on chain htlc that will be published by the server before we reveal the preimage. |
| swap_publication_deadline |
string |
body |
The latest time (in unix seconds) we allow the server to wait before publishing the HTLC on chain. Setting this to a larger value will give the server the opportunity to batch multiple swaps together, and wait for low-fee periods before publishing the HTLC, potentially resulting in a lower total swap fee. |

string |
body |
An optional label for this swap. This field is limited to 500 characters and may not start with the prefix [reserved], which is used to tag labels produced by the daemon. |
| initiator |
string |
body |
An optional identification string that will be appended to the user agent string sent to the server to give information about the usage of loop.

The amount to swap in satoshis. |
| conf_target |
int32 |
query |
The confirmation target that should be used either for the sweep of the on-chain HTLC broadcast by the swap server in the case of a Loop Out, or for the confirmation of the on-chain HTLC broadcast by the swap client in the case of a Loop In. |

query |
The latest time (in unix seconds) we allow the server to wait before publishing the HTLC on chain. Setting this to a larger value will give the server the opportunity to batch multiple swaps together, and wait for low-fee periods before publishing the HTLC, potentially resulting in a lower total swap fee. This only has an effect on loop out quotes. |

| max_swap_fee |
string |
Maximum we are willing to pay the server for the swap. This value is not disclosed in the swap initiation call, but if the server asks for a higher fee, we abort the swap. Typically this value is taken from the response of the GetQuote call. |
| max_miner_fee |
string |
Maximum in on-chain fees that we are willing to spend. If we want to publish the on-chain htlc and the fee estimate turns out higher than this value, we cancel the swap. max_miner_fee is typically taken from the response of the GetQuote call. |
| last_hop |
byte |
The last hop to use for the loop in swap. If empty, the last hop is selected based on the lowest routing fee for the swap payment from the server. |

| max_prepay_amt |
string |
Maximum amount of the swap fee that may be charged as a prepayment. |
| max_miner_fee |
string |
Maximum in on-chain fees that we are willing to spend. If we want to sweep the on-chain htlc and the fee estimate turns out higher than this value, we cancel the swap. If the fee estimate is lower, we publish the sweep tx. If the sweep tx is not confirmed, we are forced to ratchet up fees until it is swept. Possibly even exceeding max_miner_fee if we get close to the htlc timeout. Because the initial publication revealed the preimage, we have no other choice. The server may already have pulled the off-chain htlc. Only when the fee becomes higher than the swap amount, we can only wait for fees to come down and hope - if we are past the timeout - that the server is not publishing the revocation. max_miner_fee is typically taken from the response of the GetQuote call. |
| loop_out_channel |
