Resource commands

You can easily make API requests using the CLI:

$ stripe charges retrieve ch_123
$ stripe charges create --amount=100 --currency=usd --source=tok_visa
$ stripe charges update ch_123 -d "metadata[key]=value"

For a full list of available resources, type stripe resources or the wiki page.

Available commands

The Stripe CLI has commands available to interact with all Stripe API resources. For example, with charges you could write:

$ stripe charges create amount=100 currency=usd source=tok_visa

All commands support making live requests with the --livemode flag.

To see what actions you can make, use the help command on any resource:

$ stripe charges --help

Advanced options

The get, post, and delete commands expose simple interface to make raw requests against the Stripe API. They allow you to get, update, and delete existing data without having to use curl.

The commands provide a few usage shortcuts:

• if you provide an id, the CLI will know how to load that directly
• paths provided do not require `/v1/ to be prepended to every request

For example:

$ stripe get ch_1EOA8IByst5pquEteSXgXjj0
{
  "id": "ch_1EOA8IByst5pquEteSXgXjj0",
  "object": "charge",
  "amount": 1099,
  "amount_refunded": 0,
  ...
}

The commands also map all of our top-level API features such as expand and paging:

Command	Flag	Description	Example
get, post, delete	-d, --data	Data to pass for the API request	--data id=cust_123abc
get, post, delete	-e, --expand	Response attributes to expand inline. Available on all API requests, see the documentation for specific objects that support expansion	--expand customer,charges
get, post, delete	-i, --idempotency	Sets the idempotency key for your request, preventing replaying the same requests within a 24 hour period.	--idempotency foobar123456
get, post, delete	-v, --api-version	Set the Stripe API version to use for your request	--api-version 2019-03-14
get, post, delete	--stripe-account	Set a header identifying the connected account for which the request is being made	--stripe-account m_1234acbd
get, post, delete	-s, --show-headers	Show headers on responses to GET, POST, and DELETE requests	--show-headers
delete	-c, --confirm	Automatically confirm the command being entered. WARNING: This will result in NOT being prompted for confirmation for certain commands	--confirm
get	-l, --limit	A limit on the number of objects to be returned, between 1 and 100 (default is 10)	--limit 50
get	-a, --starting-after	Retrieve the next page in the list. This is a cursor for pagination and should be an object ID	--starting-after cust_1234abc
get	-b, --ending-before	Retrieve the previous page in the list. This is a cursor for pagination and should be an object ID	--ending-before cust_1234abc
