Hi 👋

#

Would you want this to apply globally or specific to just Webhooks?

solemn sierra Aug 23, 2022, 11:47 PM

#

Just webhooks.

nimble relic Aug 23, 2022, 11:48 PM

#

In the Dashboard the dropdown will only display

Your account's default API version
The current API version

#

e.g.

#

But you can specify the API version when creating a webhook endpoint via the API

#

https://stripe.com/docs/api/webhook_endpoints/object#webhook_endpoint_object-api_version

#

Using the update call, would it be possible to set the API version?

nimble relic Aug 23, 2022, 11:51 PM

#

No, that isn't an option available once a webhook has been created.

solemn sierra Aug 23, 2022, 11:52 PM

#

That is true whether it is via the API or the dashbaord?

nimble relic Aug 23, 2022, 11:53 PM

#

Doesn't matter. Once the endpoint is created (however it is created) the API version is pinned

solemn sierra Aug 23, 2022, 11:53 PM

#

OK. Thanks.

#

Are you using a strongly typed Stripe client library?

solemn sierra Aug 23, 2022, 11:54 PM

#

The python library.

nimble relic Aug 23, 2022, 11:55 PM

#

Okay but you just have code that is specific to the shape of Stripe objects from the '2016-07-06' API version?

solemn sierra Aug 23, 2022, 11:56 PM

#

That is the investigation. We have not identified all potential conflicts between the two version at this point. We were hoping if we could downgrade, it could give us a little more time to prevent unexpected errors.

#

Just create a new endpoint with the right version you want

#

and disable the old one (or write code to check the version first)

solemn sierra Aug 23, 2022, 11:57 PM

#

I tried that. 2016-07-06 was not an option in the dashboard. If it is available via an API call, I will bring it up to my team.

#

or write code to check the version first

I appreciate the coding hints. Our codebase it quite large and this was brainstormed.

#

Yeah really all you need to do is create the webhook endpoint via the API

#

would take a few minutes at most

solemn sierra Aug 24, 2022, 12:00 AM

#

Ok. Thanks.

#

Worked as described via the API. Thanks.

hybrid night Aug 24, 2022, 12:14 AM

#

awesome!

solemn sierra Aug 24, 2022, 12:21 AM

#

One last question, is it possible to delete an existing webhook and recreate it with a different API version, or is there some persistence behind the scenes that is not immediately visible in the dashboard?

hybrid night Aug 24, 2022, 12:23 AM

#

webhooks are completely independent, so yes, you can delete the other webhook whenever you want, Dashboard or API
