💅 LIGHTNING-CURRENCYCONVERT(7) 💅

okay so bestie, welcome to the lightning-currencyconvert manual page — yes that's the whole name, she's long but she's iconic 🎀

✨ NAME ✨

currencyconvert — the command that takes a fiat amount and turns it into millisatoshis, no cap 💸

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

currencyconvert amount currency

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

So this one is a new-ish command — it got added in v26.04, and honestly? we're obsessed 🫶

The currencyconvert RPC command converts a given amount in a given currency into millisatoshis. The way it does this is it takes the median of all the available exchange-rate sources for the currency you asked for. iykyk, median means the middle one, so one weird source can't drag the whole vibe down 💅

• amount (number) — the amount, expressed in the given currency, that you want converted into millisatoshis. literally just the number of money 💰
• currency (string) — the ISO-4217 currency code you're converting from (think USD). also, heads up: the plugin normalizes this value to uppercase before it queries sources, so don't stress about lowercase, she'll handle it ✨

👑 RETURN VALUE 👑

On success, you get an object back, containing:

• msat (msat) — the converted amount in millisatoshis, computed using the median result from the available sources 🔥
