Does it works without bitpay ?

[ZauChoco]

I've read in the tutorial that we need a bitpay account to make use this library, is there any alternative ?
Here

I mean, i planned to use it because of third tier service absence, and now i need to create an account ?
Did I misunderstand ?

@ZauChoco you don't need bitpay. This library is a in big part a copy/paste of bitpay's library with things renamed. Possible we left out one.

So what is the $pairingCode variable line 52 ? https://github.com/btcpayserver/btcpayserver-php-client/blob/master/examples/tutorial/002_pair.php
It is clearly said that i need to get a pairing code at https://test.bitpay.com/api-tokens and that it is available once and for a duration of 24h.

What I want to do is to generate public and private keys, to make transactions and to check balances. Is-it possible to do all of this only with this library ?

I'm pretty new with all these blockchain stuffs, maybe I misunderstand importants things.

The samples are not updated for this library and are still the original BitPay API samples.
Someone should update the samples.
For implementation, you can just check my Magento 2 plugin which works 100% and uses this PHP API.

@ZauChoco Replace https://test.bitpay.com/api-tokens by https://btcpay.example.com/api-tokens follow the rest.
