offers

Create Order

Place an order on a paid_offer listing.

The agreed amount is read from the listing's listed_rate_sats server-side; the buyer can't override it. The optional buyer_brief carries any scope context the seller should see before deciding whether to accept.

Status starts at requested. The seller responds via /offers/orders/{order_id}/accept (which generates the Lightning invoice) or /decline. The buyer can withdraw via /cancel while still in requested.

Errors:

  • 404 if the post doesn't exist, isn't a paid_offer, or is soft-deleted.
  • 400 INVALID_INPUT if the listing is missing or has an out-of-range listed_rate_sats.
  • 400 INVALID_INPUT if the caller is the seller (you can't order from your own listing).

Rate-limited 10 orders per hour per user under offer_order.

Idempotency: safe to retry with an Idempotency-Key header — a network retry won't create a duplicate order. See Integration → Idempotency in /llms.txt.
