Hi, can you add more details here so I can best assist. Are you intending to retrieve the Checkout Session by the Session id?

junior berry Oct 21, 2022, 9:02 PM

#

no, I need to fetch info about that checkout, I've got an id after checkout.

steep canopy Oct 21, 2022, 9:03 PM

#

What information are you looking for? What are you really trying to do with it?

junior berry Oct 21, 2022, 9:04 PM

#

I need this

steep canopy Oct 21, 2022, 9:06 PM

#

So that API is referring to our Issuing. The Checkout API: https://stripe.com/docs/api/checkout/sessions is separate and represents a customer's session as they pay for a transaction. Is this, https://stripe.com/docs/api/checkout/sessions/retrieve what you're looking for?

junior berry Oct 21, 2022, 9:06 PM

#

oh,yes

#

I've tested it with by a web and everything is working, but I don't know how to write my backend js file for this

#

Can you take a look?

steep canopy Oct 21, 2022, 9:23 PM

#

What do you have so far? We same sample codes on the right, https://stripe.com/docs/api/checkout/sessions/retrieve

junior berry Oct 21, 2022, 9:23 PM

#

#

#

yes, but i'm not getting it

steep canopy Oct 21, 2022, 9:28 PM

#

You're not getting what? You're not retrieving the Checkout Session so I'm a bit lost.

junior berry Oct 21, 2022, 9:29 PM

#

result

steep canopy Oct 21, 2022, 9:34 PM

#

Let's back out, what do you want to see? Can you provide me more details on what you expect your code to do?

junior berry Oct 21, 2022, 9:35 PM

#

when I try to use your API

#

I'm getting 500 err

steep canopy Oct 21, 2022, 9:40 PM

#

That is so much clearer thank you, can you share the request id with me for when you see this error? Here's how you can find a request ID: https://support.stripe.com/questions/finding-the-id-for-an-api-request

junior berry Oct 21, 2022, 9:45 PM

#

but there's no error logs

#

#

only one

steep canopy Oct 21, 2022, 9:46 PM

#

Under the Method > is GET included?

junior berry Oct 21, 2022, 9:51 PM

#

axios put

#

#

?

steep canopy Oct 21, 2022, 10:06 PM

#

I'm looking further here

junior berry Oct 21, 2022, 10:12 PM

#

what I'm doing wrong?

#

now im getting 404

steep canopy Oct 21, 2022, 10:13 PM

#

Yeah, I see that here: https://dashboard.stripe.com/test/logs/req_szOxdxafjuDYCg . It looks like you're passing passing checkout.session and not the value.

#

Looking at your code further

#

If you just console.log(req.body.id) what do you get?

junior berry Oct 21, 2022, 10:15 PM

#

no, I'm passing everything right

steep canopy Oct 21, 2022, 10:17 PM

#

can you console.log(req.body.id) please and share what it's logging?

junior berry Oct 21, 2022, 10:19 PM

#

I cannot get that console log from server side

#

#

this is a error that i get

steep canopy Oct 21, 2022, 10:24 PM

#

From the error, https://dashboard.stripe.com/test/logs/req_szOxdxafjuDYCg it looks like you're not passing the checkout id by itself. You'd want to just pass the cs_test_1234abc when retrieving the checkout session.

junior berry Oct 21, 2022, 10:24 PM

#

I'm passing it

#

right now

steep canopy Oct 21, 2022, 10:26 PM

#

I removed your last screenshot as it had sensitive data,

junior berry Oct 21, 2022, 10:26 PM

#

thats

#

ok

#

its test env

#

anyway

#

no prod

steep canopy Oct 21, 2022, 10:27 PM

#

That is true, I'm just hyper cautious.

junior berry Oct 21, 2022, 10:27 PM

#

now im getting this? lol

steep canopy Oct 21, 2022, 10:30 PM

#

Ok, so you said you're passing the checkout session id, but the screenshots show the url.

junior berry Oct 21, 2022, 10:31 PM

#

https://api.stripe.com/v1/checkout/sessions/${req.body.id}

#

Im passing this

#

with dynamic id

#

because I'm actually posting a request by a url

#

response: {

#

Now I'm unauthorized

#

I'm passing a key wrongly?

#

like this

steep canopy Oct 21, 2022, 10:36 PM

#

Not the key I do not think, you'd get a different error.

#

I would really like to know what your req.body.id returns as this has to be cs_123abc to retrieve it.

junior berry Oct 21, 2022, 10:37 PM

#

it is

steep canopy Oct 21, 2022, 10:37 PM

#

From the first screenshot it does appear to be cs_123abc as you are showing a Thank you message with it

junior berry Oct 21, 2022, 10:37 PM

#

after the payment this dynamic page occurs

#

then React gets id

steep canopy Oct 21, 2022, 10:38 PM

#

On the same page

junior berry Oct 21, 2022, 10:38 PM

#

and sends it to a server

#

as I said

#

now I'm getting unauthorized

#

error

#

#

this is what I'm getting from the console

steep canopy Oct 21, 2022, 10:40 PM

#

For Get, you'd use your Stripe publishable key

junior berry Oct 21, 2022, 10:41 PM

#

#

with a publishable

steep canopy Oct 21, 2022, 10:42 PM

#

Sorry, you're right, you'll use the Secret Key as shown on the document: https://stripe.com/docs/api/checkout/sessions/retrieve

#

From further investigating, it looks like you're passing undefined when retrieving the Checkout Session. You'd need to debug why you're not getting the Checkout Session ID there. To confirm this, you can manually pass the Checkout Session id when

const session = await stripe.checkout.sessions.retrieve( 'cs_test_qwty13452' );

junior berry Oct 21, 2022, 10:56 PM

#

I am passing it MANUALLY

#

Right now

#

I said I'm getting unauthorized

#

I need to pass a key otherwise

steep canopy Oct 21, 2022, 10:59 PM

#

Screen_Shot_2022-10-21_at_3.59.05_PM.png

#

On your Dashboard, can you toggle this to show your GET request and share the request id with me?

#

it starts with req_

#

and it will make my investigation much faster on my end

#

I see now, you are using /v1/issuing/transactions/ with GET : https://dashboard.stripe.com/test/logs/req_x5hhxYbSdOtjMO which ipi_1LvFUnHqPOI3slEhyFIK6yse is not an issuing transaction

junior berry Oct 21, 2022, 11:01 PM

#

y

#

but

#

theres

#

#

only 404

#

all the error here are from the web

#

not from my app

steep canopy Oct 21, 2022, 11:04 PM

#

The issue here is that you're making /v1/checkout/sessions/undefined calls which is not cs_1234qrtyer

junior berry Oct 21, 2022, 11:05 PM

#

these request

#

are from the web

#

not from my app

#

i am getting unath error right from the server in a console

#

can i paste you screenshots

#

and wait answer from a dev?

steep canopy Oct 21, 2022, 11:15 PM

#

I'm currently talking to a teammate here about this, thank you for your patience

junior berry Oct 21, 2022, 11:15 PM

#

ok i'll wait

robust obsidian Oct 21, 2022, 11:18 PM

#

Just hopping in! Give me a minute to catch up

#

Backing up for a bit - why are you using axios to make calls directly to Stripe's API and not using our client library?

junior berry Oct 21, 2022, 11:22 PM

#

because I used to use Axios for any API

#

And I don't know how to work with node directly

robust obsidian Oct 21, 2022, 11:24 PM

#

You should really just be using our node client library (it handles making the requests for you)- we have all the samples for how to use it in our API reference https://stripe.com/docs/api/checkout/sessions/retrieve?lang=node

junior berry Oct 21, 2022, 11:24 PM

#

I don't get why I can use it through a web and I can't do that by a app

robust obsidian Oct 21, 2022, 11:25 PM

#

What do you mean by that?

junior berry Oct 21, 2022, 11:26 PM

#

#

#

robust obsidian Oct 21, 2022, 11:27 PM

#

That's just a different way of calling our API - if it's not working from your app then something about your code is probably wrong and needs to be fixed

junior berry Oct 21, 2022, 11:27 PM

#

All I need to do - enter my api key in a login modal

#

WELL

#

I'm getting unauthorized

#

even tho I got {apiKey: envFile}

robust obsidian Oct 21, 2022, 11:29 PM

#

Yes, you're getting unauthorized because you're using axios incorrectly (as far as I can see in your code you're not actually passing the API key correctly with axios). That's why I said you should use our client library.

junior berry Oct 21, 2022, 11:31 PM

#

I have to do it like this?

robust obsidian Oct 21, 2022, 11:32 PM

#

Again - why don't you just use our client library? You're already initializing it with the const stripe line in your code

junior berry Oct 21, 2022, 11:32 PM

#

As I said — I'm a n00b in a node js

robust obsidian Oct 21, 2022, 11:33 PM

#

Yes, but I gave you a clear example from our API reference, and you seemed to be using it earlier (#1033122640317136927 message) - it's MUCH harder to get this working with axios compared to just using our client library

junior berry Oct 21, 2022, 11:34 PM

#

Can't you just say what I am doing wrong or help me with a node js? Because I have no idea

robust obsidian Oct 21, 2022, 11:36 PM

#

I already gave you an exact example of how to retrieve a Checkout Session with our node client library: https://stripe.com/docs/api/checkout/sessions/retrieve?lang=node

#

The axios code you have won't work for a couple of reasons:

Our API does not accept application/json request bodies - we expect form-encoded request bodies (which we talk about here https://stripe.com/docs/api?lang=node)
You're not setting the bearer authentication correctly in the headers. You should just use auth and do Basic authentication (see https://axios-http.com/docs/req_config for axios's docs and see https://stripe.com/docs/api/authentication for what we accept for Basic auth)

#

Using the client library is MUCH easier because it abstracts all this away for you - if you're not familiar with axios then you need to be checking their documentation on the correct ways to set authentication and the necessary headers.

junior berry Oct 21, 2022, 11:43 PM

#

Ok, boss

#

#

where am I wrong right now?

robust obsidian Oct 21, 2022, 11:48 PM

#

So now something about your server call is failing - so you have to do some basic debugging to see what specific part is failing. You need to make sure the Checkout Session retrieval request is actually being made and see if it's successful

#

and is there a reason your server code is not responding with any status?

junior berry Oct 21, 2022, 11:49 PM

#

y

#

robust obsidian Oct 21, 2022, 11:52 PM

#

So something is wrong with how you've set up your api routes in nextJS (I assume that's what you're using)

#

You have to look through your code and make sure you have your API routes set up correctly

#

I'm not the most familiar with nextJS, but why did you remove the export default when you moved to using our client library?

junior berry Oct 21, 2022, 11:57 PM

#

robust obsidian Oct 21, 2022, 11:57 PM

#

Yeah so now the issue is that there's nothing in req.body.id - if you were to hardcode a Checkout Session ID string in there it'd probably work

junior berry Oct 21, 2022, 11:59 PM

#

robust obsidian Oct 21, 2022, 11:59 PM

#

THat's what I mentioned earlier - your server isn't actually responding with anything, so you need to add more code

junior berry Oct 22, 2022, 12:01 AM

#

how to get a data

#

#

worthy flower Oct 22, 2022, 12:01 AM

#

that's a lot of pictures

junior berry Oct 22, 2022, 12:01 AM

#

bcz i'm not familliar with a node

worthy flower Oct 22, 2022, 12:01 AM

#

What's your real question as a developer?

#

Node is mostly Javascript, if you're familiar with JS it's the same

junior berry Oct 22, 2022, 12:02 AM

#

I wanted to fetch from an API with a axios, but I couldn't so we decided to move to a node

worthy flower Oct 22, 2022, 12:02 AM

#

Node is Javascript

#

So what's the problem/what's your question? Why do you use a .then and such with an await?

#

https://stripe.com/docs/api/checkout/sessions/retrieve?lang=node has the exact code so you want to do this const session = await stripe.checkout.sessions.retrieve( 'cs_test_a140XQ5ZdBt8vW26ncntHKAOA5oMc2PiNIbT6Ea5en8kQP3Os7WxiGiobI' );
After this, you're set, the variable named session has all the information you can see on https://stripe.com/docs/api/checkout/sessions/object

#

so you can do console.log(session.id); for example

#

Does that make sense?

junior berry Oct 22, 2022, 12:23 AM

#

worthy flower So what's the problem/what's your question? Why do you use a `.then` and such wi...

idk

worthy flower Oct 22, 2022, 12:31 AM

#

I'm sorry but I can't help you with an "idk".

#

I would recommend hiring a freelancer to help guide you at this point

junior berry Oct 22, 2022, 12:32 AM

#

still don't get session

#

still getting undefined

worthy flower Oct 22, 2022, 12:42 AM

#

you still have the then and await

#

I'm sorry but at this point I can't really help. You just send pictures of code with undefined 😦

junior berry Oct 22, 2022, 12:46 AM

#

#

oh, finally

#

thanks

#

I've also cleared everything

#

Just exploring js

worthy flower Oct 22, 2022, 12:58 AM

#

ah nice!
