Stripe API

Use Stripe's live REST API for authenticated account inspection and operational lookup. Use when you need to connect to a Stripe account with a secret key, inspect account details, list customers/products/prices/payments/subscriptions/invoices/refunds/disputes/payouts/webhook endpoints, or retrieve a specific Stripe object safely via read-only commands.

Use this skill for real Stripe API access.

Quick start

1. Set STRIPE_SECRET_KEY in the local shell environment.
2. Start with read-only inspection:
   • python skills/stripe-api/scripts/stripe_api.py account
   • python skills/stripe-api/scripts/stripe_api.py payment_intents --limit 10
   • python skills/stripe-api/scripts/stripe_api.py customers --limit 10
3. Read references/objects-and-workflows.md when you need object guidance or a sensible inspection order.

Core workflow

1. Verify access

Run:

bash

python skills/stripe-api/scripts/stripe_api.py account

If this fails with authentication errors, fix the environment variable first.

2. Inspect the account safely

Use read-only list commands first:

bash

python skills/stripe-api/scripts/stripe_api.py products --limit 20
python skills/stripe-api/scripts/stripe_api.py prices --limit 20
python skills/stripe-api/scripts/stripe_api.py payment_intents --limit 20
python skills/stripe-api/scripts/stripe_api.py charges --limit 20
python skills/stripe-api/scripts/stripe_api.py invoices --limit 20
python skills/stripe-api/scripts/stripe_api.py subscriptions --limit 20
python skills/stripe-api/scripts/stripe_api.py payouts --limit 20
python skills/stripe-api/scripts/stripe_api.py disputes --limit 20
python skills/stripe-api/scripts/stripe_api.py webhook_endpoints --limit 20

3. Retrieve a known object directly

bash

python skills/stripe-api/scripts/stripe_api.py get /customers/cus_123
python skills/stripe-api/scripts/stripe_api.py get /payment_intents/pi_123

4. Search customers

bash

python skills/stripe-api/scripts/stripe_api.py search_customers "email:'[e-mail]'"

Safety rules

• Do not put live secrets in the skill files.
• Do not commit or publish secrets.
• Default to read-only operations.
• Before any write action in the future, confirm with the user.
• Treat secrets shared in chat as compromised and recommend rotation.
