Libraries

BitPay maintains server-side API libraries in various programming languages which are available via popular package managers (Composer, Maven, NuGet, and NPM).

Although not required, we strongly encourage you to use a library as it will help you save development time and build a secure implementation:

• Easily create your keys & tokens, generate invoices, fetch reports.
• Sends the requests to BitPay using the built-in HTTP client, so you don't have to create your own.

Some SDKs have two versions:

• Full: Utilizes the merchant and payout API facades, enabling the full suite of API calls
• Lite: Uses the pos facade, enabling invoice creation
