Aperture

Lightning-native reverse proxy for pay-per-API-call access

Servicefreeglobal

Aperture is a free, open-source reverse proxy implementing the L402 (Lightning HTTP 402) protocol, letting API providers charge per request using Bitcoin Lightning Network micropayments without requiring accounts or subscriptions. Built by Lightning Labs and used in production by Lightning Loop, it's for API providers who want pay-per-use monetization without traditional subscription infrastructure.
