Web Monetization, Programming

I was looking around for a specification for Web Monetization Payment-Pointers. The closest thing I could find is this:

Payment Pointers

Payment Pointers are a standardized identifier for payment accounts. In the same way that an email address provides an identifier for a mailbox in the email ecosystem a payment pointer is used by an account holder to share the details of their account with a counter-party.

One thing that seems missing is — what is supposed to be returned from the HTTPS-URL that a Web Monetization Payment-Pointer resolves to?

What are the fields in the JSON?

...

I assume it is JSON because of an example HTTP request here (that does NOT show the response):

https://paymentpointers.org/flow/#example

#CrowdBucks #FediDev #Fediverse #PaymentPointer #WebMonetization

GET /.well-known/pay HTTP/1.1
Host: alice.wallet.example
Accept: application/json
