There are several ways to connect and interact with a Core Lightning node in order to build a lightning app or integrate lightning in your application.

  • Using **JSON-RPC commands **if you're building an application in the same system as the CLN node.
  • Using gRPC APIs if you're building an application in a remote client and want to connect to the CLN node over a secure network.
  • Using Commando to connect to a CLN node over the lightning network and issue commands.
  • Third-party libraries that offer REST, GraphQL or JSON over HTTPS frameworks to connect to a CLN node remotely.
