Yes, with two caveats. With --json, an API rejection keeps the HTTP status and the API's full error body unchanged, including its type, code, detail, context and request_id.

Caveats

exit_code is not the HTTP status. It is the CLI's own failure class (src/error.rs:35-48): 401 and 403 give 3, every other API error gives 1. A script should branch on error.detail.http_status and https://t.co/dL4dE4TPaa.error.code, and use the exit code only as a coarse class.
A response that isn't JSON loses its status in the output (src/api.rs:290-311). An HTML 502 from a proxy, for example, produces "message": "HTTP 502: non-JSON response omitted" with detail: null. The only exception is a 401 or 403 sent with an API key, which keeps credential_sources. The status is stored internally in response_status but never written out, so a script can only get it by parsing the message. This is the one place a script still has to guess, and it would be a small fix: emit http_status with data: null.

A failure where no response came back at all (timeout, refused connection, TLS error) has no HTTP status by nature. It is reported as exit code 4 or 5, with a message and a hint.

Human (non---json) output shortens the detail: it drops the API's detail when the message already gives it. The codes are only complete in JSON.

If you looked at Lightning five years ago and decided it was too much work, I'd take another look.

A lot has changed. We've spent that time at @voltage_cloud taking on the operational work that businesses used to have to manage themselves.

[Voltage ⚡ @voltage_cloud]

We’ve updated our systems and applied mitigations for CVE-2026-98432. Keeping your Bitcoin infrastructure secure is our priority.

[Filip Michalsky @FilipMichalsky]

Your customers don’t need to own Bitcoin to pay with Lightning ⚡️.

We just made that real at @paywithsoap checkout with @voltage_cloud.

[WhiteBIT @WhiteBit]

Deposit BTC via the Lightning Network in just a few steps. See how it works in the video. Learn more about the Lightning feature on WhiteBIT in our blog: https://t.co/yr2D2uM2sc

@gkrizek ⚡️

[Graham Krizek @gkrizek]

Turn a Lightning invoice into a familiar payment experience.

With Voltage wallet deep linking, customers can open their payment directly in supported wallets such as Cash App or Strike.

Your team keeps control of the checkout experience while giving customers a simpler path to confirm their payment.

[Soap Payments @paywithsoap]

Today we’re launching Lightning payments on Soap through our integration with @voltage_cloud.

Payments complete in seconds, run 24/7, and network fees are typically very low.

[Filip Michalsky @FilipMichalsky]

@paywithsoap @voltage_cloud @tycarlin @iBobbyShell Lightning invoices in a normal checkout flow, with no new tooling for the merchant. Clean.

[Voltage ⚡ @voltage_cloud]

@paywithsoap Incredible things are happening! Great work

[Soap Payments @paywithsoap]

Excited to bring Lightning payments into @paywithsoap checkout through our partnership with @voltage_cloud.

Merchants can now offer an open payment rail without building the infrastructure themselves. Customers pay instantly with compatible wallet, including eligible Cash App users who can fund from their USD balance.

Lightning, built in.

[Voltage ⚡ @voltage_cloud]

@r0ckstardev Thanks Uncle

[Uncle Rockstar Developer @r0ckstardev]

I'm still not over the BTCPay Server hacks from August. And I don't think I ever will be.

Nine years of coding, building community and creating value with others, only for a lot of that value to be stolen by thieves and AI hackers.

When I look back, the only thing I feel good about is how fast our community reacted, and how many more people were saved from catastrophic losses.

As a FOSS project, we responded better than governments, big corporations and most for-profit companies did. Everyone who contributed should feel proud of the part they played in the response.

What remains is the realization that we are in a new era. The people who robbed us only managed it because they got access to frontier AI models faster than we did. AI has fundamentally changed software development.

So our job now is to build better ways for humans to work with AI while it writes the code.

Developers were already being tortured. The boss wants it yesterday. Sales sold it last week. Product changed it this morning. Everyone in the company wants it faster, and the end users want it perfect. Your backlog has a backlog.

Now add attackers running frontier models that read your entire codebase overnight. It's literally impossible to keep up.

If you're still coding by hand, you're bringing a keyboard to a drone fight. You will not make it.

In this brave new world it's all about having AI running your development and defense, ensuring it's as close to frontier as possible.

And that you are connected with other humans who share your morals. Those who will not only refuse to steal from others, but actively fight thiefs, sharing lessons they learned.

A world where those who create value get to keep it. That's the only world I want to live in.

A QR code is useful on desktop. On a phone, your customer is already holding the device they want to pay with.

Wallet deep linking lets you take a Lightning invoice generated through Voltage and open it directly in @CashApp or @Strike. The customer taps a button and reviews the payment in their wallet—without copying an invoice between apps.

For engineers building the checkout, check this:

- Use wallet-specific links when you can. A generic Lightning link can open a different wallet depending on the device.

- Keep the invoice and QR code available for customers using another compatible wallet.

- Test the handoff with our Mutinynet demo wallet. Cash App uses mainnet.

- Confirm payment through your backend using the API or webhooks before crediting the customer.

- You can build this into your own interface. Hosted checkout isn’t required. (our beta product)

It’s a small UI change that removes a manual step between choosing to pay and approving the payment.

Busy month for bitcoin payments.

[Give Me LIGHTNING @givelightning]

Lightning catch-up (biggest first):

1. @lightning Wavelength is live on Bitcoin mainnet. Apps and AI agents send and receive over Lightning with a few API calls. Self-custodial, no node, no channels, no liquidity to manage.

2. @lightning also floated LayerTree: a non-custodial Bitcoin scaling design that plugs into Lightning, shares one UTXO across up to a million users, and lets anyone exit in a single tx.

3. Security week for node runners. @acinq_co shipped Eclair v0.14.5 (second security release in five days). @lightning rebuilt lnd, tapd, btcd, and litd after the eMudhra CA compromise. Updating Go alone does not patch installed binaries. Core Lightning also pushed a funds-at-risk fix in v26.06.9.

4. Real payments. @paywithsoap and @HiglobeOfficial added Lightning via @voltage_cloud. Eligible Cash App users can pay Soap merchants from USD. @WhiteBit added Lightning deposits and withdrawals.

5. Agent economy. @voltage_cloud shipped Agent Pack for coding agents. @TunnelSats sells WireGuard tunnels over HTTP 402. @gpvansat's Sats for Bots and Amazap keep cataloging paid Lightning APIs.

Worth a look: post-quantum Lightning research in Rust-Lightning, @ambosstech stablecoin-to-Bitcoin over Lightning, @BULLBITCOIN_ Lightning restored, @satora_io on-chain/Lightning swaps.
