Lightning Address

A lightning node address is a string of text composed of your node’s:

• Public key
• IP or DNS address
• Port

You can find your address by looking up your node on a Lightning explorer such as Amboss or Mempool and copying the address. Try searching for your nodes alias if you don't know your public key.

Here is an example:

03864ef025fde8fb587d989186ce6a4a186895ee44a926bfc370e2c366597a3f8f@3.33.236.230:9735

Alternatively you can call the getinfo method from the lightning cli and derive the address from the id and address parameters from the returned object.
