stripe-python VS stripe-node

Make async requests in the beta release of stripe-python: The stripe-python beta channel now has built-in support for async control flow, backed by the httpx or aiohttp http libraries.

Instantiate StripeClient in the Python SDK: Stripe-python v8.0.0 introduced StripeClient, upgrading from a single global configuration to enable multiple thread-safe instances.

Let's start by installing the Python library for Stripe, which is available on Github.

Use types with the Python SDK: Strengthen Python integrations with type annotations using the stripe-python library starting in v6.8.0b3 through the beta channel.

You should use the python package that stripe provides: https://github.com/stripe/stripe-python

The api_key is being passed down to every object. You can see it being fed to the constructor for Customer because it is a child of StripeObject.

I've been maintaining async-stripe for over a year. It is the only async client for Python. It fixes a long standing feature request (issue #327).

New API version released: Version 2022-08-01 of the Stripe API has been released along with major version upgrades to all official client libraries, namely Dotnet, Go, Java, PHP, Node, Python, and Ruby. Read more about breaking changes in the API upgrades section and how to upgrade.

> Every time a new language comes out we have to recreate millions of baseline libraries and it just sucks. As a dev I want to be able to make use of great libraries oblivious to what they are created with.

Technically this tool mostly does exist already with the OpenAPI specification if we're talking about REST APIs. If you put in the leg work to create a very detailed specification which is a YAML file, you can generate programming language specific SDKs out of it.

Stripe has publicly mentioned[0] they mostly use this spec to generate their SDKs (even as of a few years ago), even so auto-generated code still requires developer time and there's a level of "hey we're dedicated to internally supporting this". It's a huge deal having a provider internally support your language's SDK.

The stripe package is actually maintained by Stripe.

Head to Stripe and register if you haven't already. We can use the Stripe API in Test Mode to build the e-commerce app. You can add a bank account and get verified later when you're ready to start collecting real payments.

Stripe published its 2023 annual letter last week. Much like the previous edition it was filled with a lot of interesting nuggets. Stripe has a strong history of being fairly transparent with its practices. These range from engineering challenges through its blogs as well as thought leadership in the financial and entrepreneurship space. I personally like the writing style of this letter as it doesn’t seem corporate or stuffy. Instead it is filled with humorous anecdotes, quirky observations and intelligent historical narratives which make it a compelling read. You can read the letter here → Stripe Annual Letter: 2023

Stripe – payments

Imagine you want to create an API endpoint that allows users to register in your backend, while simultaneously making a payment towards Stripe. This could be for something that's a subscription-based service, where you charge people for access to something.

Our app – Upollo – connects with your app event data (like Segment) and payment data (like Stripe) to analyze your users and instantly figure out if someone is an important player in your industry. We also help you convert more users, reduce churn, and expand single seats to teams within a company. We're SOC 2 certified and we take data security very seriously.

That's cool - my page is still under development. But have you tried running it on something like https://stripe.com/ to see if the generates interesting results. Could share results here? DMing you also

Stripe is a great example of this as their margins on the side are visible with a faint line. All content is inside this except for some images and decorations.

Before going through the integration process, you need to sign up for a Stripe account. Go to the Stripe website and follow the registration process. Once you're signed in, you'll have access to the API keys needed to communicate between the server and your Stripe.
