}

Then I need to get the route:

getroute id msatoshi riskfactor [cltv] [fromid] [fuzzpercent] [exclude] [maxhops]

Final node ID:

      },
      {
         "id": "030f1784fafe1b5b143e4e4545e6c2f612943c60e6a5b770b35e324c60b6ae9516",

         "delay": 9,
         "style": "tlv"
      }
   ]
}

Which ID should I use to get the route for private BOLT11?

How to pay private BOLT11 in manual mode?

There is the routes field in the invoice as a routing hint

   "routes": [
      [
         {
            "pubkey": "03933884aaf1d6b108397e5efe5c86bcf2d8ca8d2f700eda99db9214fc2712b134",
            "short_channel_id": "1891311x61x0",
            "fee_base_msat": 1000,
            "fee_proportional_millionths": 100,
            "cltv_expiry_delta": 144
         }
      ]

This tells you the node ID which getroute can find:

03933884aaf1d6b108397e5efe5c86bcf2d8ca8d2f700eda99db9214fc2712b134

There are plugins that allow you to create custom routes along a given path. So I suggest to call getroute to the node from the routing hint extend that route with the private hope and use the following plugin to create a custom onion:

https://github.com/lightningd/plugins/pull/85

to create custom hope, i need target node ID. but this BOLT11 dont contains final node ID. — Petr Stukalov, Dec 25 '20 at 12:05
The node ID is being recovered from the signature, and `devtools/bolt11-cli decode [invoice]` will give you the recovered ID. — cdecker, Dec 25 '20 at 14:48
