Blink Skill Bitcoin Lightning wallet operations via the Blink API. Enables agents to check balances, receive payments via invoices, send payments over Lightning, swap between BTC and USD wallets, track transactions, and monitor prices. What is Blink? Blink is a custodial Bitcoin Lightning wallet with a GraphQL API. Key concepts: API Key — authentication token (format: blink_... ) with scoped permissions (Read, Receive, Write) BTC Wallet — balance denominated in satoshis USD Wallet — balance denominated in cents (stablecoin pegged to USD) Lightning Invoice — BOLT-11 payment request string ( lnbc... ) used to receive payments Lightning Address — human-readable address ( user@domain ) for sending payments without an invoice LNURL — protocol for interacting with Lightning services via encoded URLs Environment Requires bash and Node.js 18+. Requires BLINK_API_KEY environment variable with appropriate scopes. For WebSocket subscriptions: Node 22+ (native) or Node 20+ with --experimental-websocket . Zero runtime npm dependencies. Only Node.js built-in modules are used ( node:util , node:fs , node:path , node:child_process ). Use this skill for concrete wallet operations, not generic Lightning theory. Getting Started 1. Get your API key Create a free account at dashboard.blink.sv . Go to API Keys and create a key with the scopes you need. Set it in your environment: export BLINK_API_KEY = "blink_..." API Key Scopes: Read — query balances, transaction history, price, account info Receive — create invoices Write — send payments (use with caution) Tip: Start with Read + Receive only. Add Write when you need to send payments. 2. Verify it works node { baseDir } /scripts/balance.js If you see JSON with your wallet balances, you're ready. 3. Staging / Testnet (recommended for first-time setup) To use the Blink staging environment (signet) instead of real money: export BLINK_API_URL = "https://api.staging.blink.sv/graphql" Create a staging API key at dashboard.staging.blink.sv . The staging environment uses signet bitcoin (no real value) — perfect for testing payment flows safely. If BLINK_API_URL is not set, production ( https://api.blink.sv/graphql ) is used by default. API key auto-detection Scripts automatically resolve BLINK_API_KEY using this order: process.env.BLINK_API_KEY (checked first) Shell rc files: ~/.profile , ~/.bashrc , ~/.bash_profile , ~/.zshrc — scanned for an export BLINK_API_KEY=... line only No source ~/.profile prefix is needed. The rc file scan uses a targeted regex that reads only the BLINK_API_KEY export line — no other data is extracted from these files. Agent Safety Policy These rules are mandatory for any AI agent using this skill: Ask before spending. Never execute pay_invoice.js , pay_lnaddress.js , pay_lnurl.js , or swap_execute.js without explicit user confirmation of the amount and recipient. Dry-run first. For swaps, always run with --dry-run before executing for real unless the user explicitly says to skip it. Check balance before sending. Always run balance.js before any payment or swap to verify sufficient funds. Probe fees before paying. Run fee_probe.js before pay_invoice.js to show the user the fee cost. Use minimum scopes. Only request Write-scoped API keys when send operations are actually needed. Never log or display the API key. Treat BLINK_API_KEY as a secret. Do not echo it, include it in messages, or write it to files. Prefer staging for testing. When the user is testing or learning, suggest setting BLINK_API_URL to the staging endpoint. Respect irreversibility. Warn the user that Lightning payments and swaps cannot be reversed once executed. Bitcoin Units BTC wallet amounts are always in satoshis (sats). 1 BTC = 100,000,000 sats. USD wallet amounts are always in cents . $1.00 = 100 cents. When displaying amounts to users, use the formatted fields from output JSON (e.g. btcBalanceUsdFormatted , usdBalanceFormatted ). Do not perform manual BTC-to-USD conversion math — use node {baseDir}/scripts/price.js or the btcBalanceUsd field from balance output instead. For swap amounts, the --unit flag controls interpretation: sats for BTC, cents for USD. Workflow Pick the operation path first: Receive payments (invoice creation, QR codes, payment monitoring). Send payments (invoice pay, Lightning Address, LNURL, BTC or USD wallet). Swap between wallets (BTC <-> USD internal conversion). Read-only queries (balance, transactions, price, account info). Configure API access from blink-api-and-auth : Set BLINK_API_KEY with the correct scopes for your operation. Optionally set BLINK_API_URL for staging/testnet. Verify connectivity with balance.js . For sending payments, follow payment-operations : Check balance before sending. Probe fees with fee_probe.js . Choose BTC or USD wallet with --wallet flag. Use --dry-run to preview without sending. Use --max-amount to cap outgoing amounts. Execute payment and verify in transaction history. For swapping between wallets, follow swap-operations : Get a quote with swap_quote.js to preview the conversion. Execute with swap_execute.js (use --dry-run first). For receiving payments, follow invoice-lifecycle : Create BTC or USD invoice. Parse two-phase output (invoice created, then payment resolution). Generate QR code and send to payer. Monitor via auto-subscribe, polling, or standalone subscription. Apply safety constraints: Use minimum API key scopes for the task. Test on staging before production. Always check balance before sending. Use --dry-run on payment and swap commands to preview before executing. Use --max-amount to enforce a per-payment ceiling (pay_lnaddress, pay_lnurl). Use --force to override balance-check failures when you know the payment should proceed. Payments are irreversible once settled. Quick Commands

Core Commands
Check Wallet Balances
node
{
baseDir
}
/scripts/balance.js
Returns JSON with all wallet balances (BTC in sats, USD in cents), wallet IDs, pending incoming amounts, and a
pre-computed USD estimate
for the BTC wallet. Use
btcBalanceUsd
for the BTC wallet's USD value — do not calculate it yourself.
Create Lightning Invoice (BTC)
node
{
baseDir
}
/scripts/create_invoice.js
<
amount_sats
>
[
--timeout
<
seconds
>
]
[
--no-subscribe
]
[
memo
..
.
]
Generates a BOLT-11 Lightning invoice for the specified amount in satoshis. Returns the
paymentRequest
string that can be paid by any Lightning wallet. The BTC wallet ID is resolved automatically.
Auto-subscribe
After creating the invoice, the script automatically opens a WebSocket subscription and waits for payment. It outputs
two JSON objects
to stdout:
Immediately
—
{"event": "invoice_created", ...}
with
paymentRequest
,
paymentHash
, etc.
When resolved
—
{"event": "subscription_result", "status": "PAID"|"EXPIRED"|"TIMEOUT", ...}
The agent should read the first JSON to share the invoice/QR with the user right away, then wait for the second JSON to confirm payment.
amount_sats
— amount in satoshis (required)
--timeout
— subscription timeout (default: 300). Use 0 for no timeout.
--no-subscribe
— skip WebSocket auto-subscribe, just create the invoice and exit
memo...
— optional description attached to the invoice (remaining args joined)
Create Lightning Invoice (USD)
node
{
baseDir
}
/scripts/create_invoice_usd.js
<
amount_cents
>
[
--timeout
<
seconds
>
]
[
--no-subscribe
]
[
memo
..
.
]
Creates a Lightning invoice denominated in USD cents. The sender pays in BTC/Lightning, but the received amount is locked to a USD value at the current exchange rate. Credited to the USD wallet.
Expires in ~5 minutes
due to exchange rate lock.
Auto-subscribe
Same two-phase output as
create_invoice.js
— first JSON is the created invoice, second JSON is the payment resolution (PAID/EXPIRED/TIMEOUT).
amount_cents
— amount in USD cents, e.g. 100 = $1.00 (required)
--timeout
— subscription timeout (default: 300). Use 0 for no timeout.
--no-subscribe
— skip WebSocket auto-subscribe, just create the invoice and exit
memo...
— optional description attached to the invoice (remaining args joined)
Check Invoice Status
node
{
baseDir
}
/scripts/check_invoice.js
<
payment_hash
>
Checks the payment status of a Lightning invoice by its payment hash. Use after creating an invoice to detect when it has been paid. Returns status:
PAID
,
PENDING
, or
EXPIRED
.
payment_hash
— the 64-char hex payment hash from
create_invoice.js
output (required)

Estimate Payment Fee
node
{
baseDir
}
/scripts/fee_probe.js
<
bolt11_invoice
>
[
--wallet BTC
|
USD
]
Estimates the fee for paying a Lightning invoice without actually sending. Use before
pay_invoice.js
to check costs. Payments to other Blink users and direct-channel nodes are free (0 sats).
bolt11_invoice
— the BOLT-11 payment request string (required)
--wallet BTC|USD
— wallet to probe from (default: BTC). When USD is selected, uses
lnUsdInvoiceFeeProbe
to estimate fees from the USD wallet's perspective.
Render Invoice QR Code
node
{
baseDir
}
/scripts/qr_invoice.js
<
bolt11_invoice
>
Renders a terminal QR code for a Lightning invoice (BOLT-11) to stderr and generates a
PNG image file
to
/tmp
. The stdout JSON includes a
pngPath
field with the absolute path to the PNG file.
Sending the QR image to a user
After running this script, use the pngPath from the JSON output to send the PNG as a media attachment to the user in the current chat. The agent should use its native message-send capability with the file path. bolt11_invoice — the BOLT-11 payment request string (required) Output JSON includes: invoice — uppercased invoice string qrRendered — always true qrSize — QR module count errorCorrection — "L" (LOW) pngPath — absolute path to the generated PNG file (e.g. /tmp/blink_qr_1234567890.png ) pngBytes — file size in bytes List Transactions node { baseDir } /scripts/transactions.js [ --first N ] [ --after CURSOR ] [ --wallet BTC | USD ] Lists recent transactions (incoming and outgoing) with pagination. Returns direction, amount, status, type (lightning/onchain/intraledger), and metadata. --first N — number of transactions to return (default: 20, max: 100) --after CURSOR — pagination cursor from previous response's endCursor --wallet BTC|USD — filter to a specific wallet currency Get BTC/USD Price node { baseDir } /scripts/price.js [ amount_sats ] node { baseDir } /scripts/price.js --usd < amount_usd

node { baseDir } /scripts/price.js --history < range

node { baseDir } /scripts/price.js --currencies Multi-purpose exchange rate tool. All price queries are public (no API key required) , though the key is sent if available. Modes: No args — current BTC/USD price and sats-per-dollar rate — convert a satoshi amount to USD (e.g. price.js 1760 → $1.20 ) --usd — convert a USD amount to sats (e.g. price.js --usd 5.00 → 7350 sats ) --history — historical BTC price data with summary stats (high/low/change). Ranges: ONE_DAY , ONE_WEEK , ONE_MONTH , ONE_YEAR , FIVE_YEARS --currencies — list all supported display currencies (IDs, names, symbols, flags) Account Info node { baseDir } /scripts/account_info.js Shows account level, spending limits (withdrawal, internal send, convert), default wallet, and wallet summary with pre-computed USD estimates for BTC balances. Limits are denominated in USD cents with a rolling 24-hour window. Quote Internal BTC <-> USD Swap node { baseDir } /scripts/swap_quote.js < direction

< amount

[ --unit sats | cents ] [ --ttl-seconds N ] [ --immediate ] Builds a deterministic quote-like receipt for internal wallet conversion. direction — btc-to-usd or usd-to-btc amount — positive integer amount (unit inferred by direction unless --unit is set) --unit sats|cents — optional override for input unit --ttl-seconds N — quote validity window in seconds (default: 60) --immediate — mark intent for immediate execution mode in quote receipt Uses Blink's conversion estimation path for pricing and records: pre-swap balances quote id / expiry metadata amount in/out terms execution path ( intraLedgerPaymentSend or intraLedgerUsdPaymentSend ) Execute Internal BTC <-> USD Swap node { baseDir } /scripts/swap_execute.js < direction

< amount

[ --unit sats | cents ] [ --ttl-seconds N ] [ --immediate ] [ --dry-run ] [ --memo "text" ] Executes a wallet-native internal conversion between your BTC and USD wallets. --dry-run — returns an execution receipt without performing the mutation --memo "text" — optional memo attached to the internal transfer Execution receipts include quote terms, pre/post balances, balance deltas, and final status. Fee/settlement interpretation: quote.feeSats , quote.feeBps , and quote.slippageBps are currently returned as zero in live runs. You can still see a small quote-to-settlement spread (often 1 sat or 1 cent) due to integer rounding between sats and cents. Always compute effective cost from quote.amountOut versus balanceDelta instead of relying only on explicit fee fields. For deeper behavior details and formulas, see swap-operations . AGENT: This command moves funds between wallets. Always run with --dry-run first, show the quote to the user, and get explicit confirmation before executing without --dry-run . Realtime Subscriptions Blink supports GraphQL subscriptions over WebSocket using the graphql-transport-ws protocol. Node 20 requires the --experimental-websocket flag. Subscribe to Invoice Payment Status node --experimental-websocket { baseDir } /scripts/subscribe_invoice.js < bolt11_invoice

[ --timeout < seconds

] Watches a single invoice and exits when it is PAID or EXPIRED . Status updates are printed to stderr. JSON result is printed to stdout. Subscribe to Account Updates (myUpdates) node --experimental-websocket { baseDir } /scripts/subscribe_updates.js [ --timeout < seconds

] [ --max < count

] Streams account updates in real time. Each event is output as a JSON line (NDJSON) to stdout. Use --max to stop after N events.

When a USD wallet ID is provided, the API debits the USD equivalent automatically. Amounts for lnAddressPaymentSend and lnurlPaymentSend are always specified in satoshis regardless of wallet type. Output Format All scripts output structured JSON to stdout. Status messages and errors go to stderr. Exit code 0 on success, 1 on failure. Balance output example { "wallets" : [ { "id" : "abc123" , "currency" : "BTC" , "balance" : 1760 , "unit" : "sats" } , { "id" : "def456" , "currency" : "USD" , "balance" : 1500 , "unit" : "cents" } ] , "btcWalletId" : "abc123" , "btcBalance" : 1760 , "btcBalanceSats" : 1760 , "btcBalanceUsd" : 1.2 , "btcBalanceUsdFormatted" : "$1.20" , "usdWalletId" : "def456" , "usdBalance" : 1500 , "usdBalanceCents" : 1500 , "usdBalanceFormatted" : "$15.00" } Invoice creation output example (two-phase) First JSON (immediate): { "event" : "invoice_created" , "paymentRequest" : "lnbc500n1..." , "paymentHash" : "abc123..." , "satoshis" : 500 , "status" : "PENDING" , "createdAt" : "2026-02-23T00:00:00Z" , "walletId" : "abc123" } Second JSON (when payment resolves): { "event" : "subscription_result" , "paymentRequest" : "lnbc500n1..." , "status" : "PAID" , "isPaid" : true , "isExpired" : false , "isPending" : false } Invoice status output example { "paymentHash" : "abc123..." , "paymentStatus" : "PAID" , "satoshis" : 500 , "isPaid" : true , "isExpired" : false , "isPending" : false } Payment output example (BTC wallet) { "status" : "SUCCESS" , "walletId" : "abc123" , "walletCurrency" : "BTC" , "balanceBefore" : 50000 } Payment output example (USD wallet) { "status" : "SUCCESS" , "walletId" : "def456" , "walletCurrency" : "USD" , "balanceBefore" : 1500 , "balanceBeforeFormatted" : "$15.00" } Price output example { "btcPriceUsd" : 68036.95 , "satsPerDollar" : 1470 , "conversion" : { "sats" : 1760 , "usd" : 1.2 , "usdFormatted" : "$1.20" } } USD-to-sats conversion output example { "btcPriceUsd" : 68036.95 , "satsPerDollar" : 1470 , "conversion" : { "usd" : 5.0 , "usdFormatted" : "$5.00" , "sats" : 7350 } } Price history output example { "range" : "ONE_DAY" , "dataPoints" : 24 , "summary" : { "current" : 68036.95 , "oldest" : 67500.00 , "high" : 68500.00 , "low" : 67200.00 , "changeUsd" : 536.95 , "changePct" : 0.8 } , "prices" : [ { "timestamp" : 1740000000 , "date" : "2025-02-20T00:00:00.000Z" , "btcPriceUsd" : 67500.00 } ] } Transaction list output example { "transactions" : [ { "id" : "tx_123" , "direction" : "RECEIVE" , "status" : "SUCCESS" , "amount" : 1000 , "currency" : "BTC" , "type" : "lightning" , "paymentHash" : "abc..." , "createdAt" : 1740000000 } ] , "count" : 1 , "pageInfo" : { "hasNextPage" : false , "endCursor" : "cursor_abc" } } Swap quote output example { "event" : "swap_quote" , "dryRun" : true , "direction" : "BTC_TO_USD" , "preBalance" : { "btcWalletId" : "btc_wallet_id" , "usdWalletId" : "usd_wallet_id" , "btcBalanceSats" : 250000 , "usdBalanceCents" : 150000 } , "quote" : { "quoteId" : "blink-swap-1740000000-424242" , "amountIn" : { "value" : 5000 , "unit" : "sats" } , "amountOut" : { "value" : 340 , "unit" : "cents" } , "expiresAtEpochSeconds" : 1740000060 , "immediateExecution" : false , "executionPath" : "blink:intraLedgerPaymentSend" } } Swap execution output example { "event" : "swap_execution" , "dryRun" : false , "direction" : "USD_TO_BTC" , "status" : "SUCCESS" , "succeeded" : true , "preBalance" : { "btcBalanceSats" : 250000 , "usdBalanceCents" : 150000 } , "postBalance" : { "btcBalanceSats" : 253650 , "usdBalanceCents" : 149500 } , "balanceDelta" : { "btcDeltaSats" : 3650 , "usdDeltaCents" : -500 } , "quote" : { "quoteId" : "blink-swap-1740000015-556677" , "executionPath" : "blink:intraLedgerUsdPaymentSend" } , "execution" : { "path" : "blink:intraLedgerUsdPaymentSend" , "transactionId" : "tx_abc123" } } Typical Agent Workflows Receive a payment (recommended — auto-subscribe + QR image)

1. Create invoice — script auto-subscribes and outputs two JSON objects

node { baseDir } /scripts/create_invoice.js 1000 "Payment for service"

→ First JSON:

→ Read paymentRequest from first JSON immediately

2. Generate QR code PNG

node { baseDir } /scripts/qr_invoice.js < paymentRequest

→ JSON includes "pngPath": "/tmp/blink_qr_123456.png"

→ Send the PNG file to the user as a media attachment in the current chat

3. The create_invoice.js script is still running, waiting for payment

→ Second JSON:

→ When PAID: notify the user that payment has been received

→ When EXPIRED: notify the user the invoice expired

Important
The create_invoice.js script outputs two JSON objects separated by a newline. Parse them as separate JSON objects, not as a single JSON array. The first object arrives immediately; the second arrives when payment status resolves. Receive a payment (polling fallback)

1. Create invoice without auto-subscribe

node { baseDir } /scripts/create_invoice.js 1000 --no-subscribe "Payment for service"

2. Give the paymentRequest to the payer

3. Poll for payment

node { baseDir } /scripts/check_invoice.js < payment_hash

4. Verify balance

node { baseDir } /scripts/balance.js Receive a USD payment

Same two-phase pattern as BTC, but using create_invoice_usd.js

Note: USD invoices expire in ~5 minutes

node { baseDir } /scripts/create_invoice_usd.js 500 "Five dollars for service"

→ First JSON:

Generate QR and send to user, then wait for second JSON

Send a payment (with fee check)

1. Check current balance

node { baseDir } /scripts/balance.js

2. Estimate fee

node { baseDir } /scripts/fee_probe.js lnbc1000n1 .. .

3. Send payment

node { baseDir } /scripts/pay_invoice.js lnbc1000n1 .. .

4. Verify in transaction history

node { baseDir } /scripts/transactions.js --first 1 Send from the USD wallet

Pay an invoice from the USD wallet

node { baseDir } /scripts/fee_probe.js lnbc1000n1 .. . --wallet USD node { baseDir } /scripts/pay_invoice.js lnbc1000n1 .. . --wallet USD

Send to a Lightning Address from the USD wallet

node { baseDir } /scripts/pay_lnaddress.js user@blink.sv 1000 --wallet USD

Send via LNURL from the USD wallet

node { baseDir } /scripts/pay_lnurl.js lnurl1 .. . 1000 --wallet USD

Note: for lnaddress and lnurl, the amount is always in satoshis.

The Blink API debits the USD equivalent from the USD wallet automatically.

Convert sats to USD value

Check how much 1760 sats is worth in USD

node { baseDir } /scripts/price.js 1760

→ $1.20

Convert USD to sats

How many sats is $5.00?

node { baseDir } /scripts/price.js --usd 5.00

→ 7350 sats

Swap BTC to USD (quote then execute)

1. Build quote and inspect terms

node { baseDir } /scripts/swap_quote.js btc-to-usd 10000

2. Execute the swap

node { baseDir } /scripts/swap_execute.js btc-to-usd 10000 Swap USD to BTC (dry-run then execute)

1. Dry-run execution receipt without moving funds

node { baseDir } /scripts/swap_execute.js usd-to-btc 500 --unit cents --dry-run

2. Real execution

node { baseDir } /scripts/swap_execute.js usd-to-btc 500 --unit cents Check price history

Get BTC price over the last 24 hours

node { baseDir } /scripts/price.js --history ONE_DAY

Get BTC price over the last month

node
{
baseDir
}
/scripts/price.js
--history
ONE_MONTH
Security
API Key Handling
Your API key is your wallet access
— anyone with a Write-scoped key can spend your entire balance.
Use minimum scopes
— Read-only for balance checks, Receive for invoices, Write only when sending.
Never expose keys in output
— do not echo, log, or include
BLINK_API_KEY
in chat messages or files.
Keys are for server-side / agent use only. Never embed in client-side code.
What Data Leaves the Machine
Outbound HTTPS
to
api.blink.sv
(or
BLINK_API_URL
override) for all GraphQL queries and mutations.
Outbound WSS
to
ws.blink.sv
(or
BLINK_WS_URL
override) for subscription WebSockets.
No other network calls.
Scripts do not phone home, send telemetry, or contact any third-party services.
Filesystem Access
RC file reading:
If
BLINK_API_KEY
is not found in
process.env
, the client scans
~/.profile
,
~/.bashrc
,
~/.bash_profile
, and
~/.zshrc
for a line matching
export BLINK_API_KEY=...
. Only the value of that specific export is extracted — no other data is read from these files. The environment variable is always checked first.
QR PNG generation:
The
qr
command writes temporary PNG files to
/tmp/blink_qr_*.png
. These are standard image files with no embedded metadata beyond the QR content.
No other filesystem writes.
Scripts do not create config files, databases, or caches.
Stateless Design
This skill stores no data between runs. There are no databases, config files, session tokens, or caches. Each script invocation is independent — it reads the API key, makes API calls, outputs JSON, and exits.
Payment Safety
Sending is irreversible
— Lightning payments cannot be reversed once settled.
Test on staging first
— use
BLINK_API_URL=https://api.staging.blink.sv/graphql
to point at the signet staging environment with test funds.
USD invoices expire fast
— ~5 minutes due to exchange rate lock.
Price queries are public
—
price.js
works without an API key; only wallet operations require authentication.
