One of the most annoying things I run into with development is poorly written documentation, or non existant or poorly titled pages for operations.
As readily available as it should be, I cant seem to find documentation from lightning labs on HOW to do a GRPC request to pay an invoice.
Im looking for the REST equivalent of
lncli payinvoice --pay_req {lnbc...} --force
it seems to be documented as sendpayment marked as deprecated and has a bidirectional endpoint as /v1/channels/transaction-stream. The replacement being /v2/router/send
maybe i just need to put this aside and come back to it. frustrations are no bueno. but if you have worked with this and know the call, or can verify as above, please let me know
