Can you share example requests to search and example results you think should be included?

eg, req_123 https://stripe.com/docs/api/request_ids / https://support.stripe.com/questions/finding-the-id-for-an-api-request

[unborn cedar]

so it says that im missing parameters, im assuming they would go in the body request for the API but it wont let me access that section to input the name {option_cuetomer} variable i would be using to grab the info the team inputs. thats what i believe the issue is currently.

ive got my request ID here:
req_eVgNn409ZvM5sp if that helps?

[cold mural]

With the search API the query parameter is required

but it wont let me access that section to input the name {option_cuetomer} variable
what do you mean by this?

See example requests here:
https://stripe.com/docs/search#customers-email-search

[unborn cedar]

so im using an API request block in the command builder i use.

there are 4 sections: URL Params, HTTP Headers, Body Requests, Test Request

for example: if i have command to get a users email by formatting the command like this /email name:John Doe in the body request i would have to put
Key: name Value: {option_name} for it to take that information in and use it for what i want to do with it

i hope this makes sense?

however i cannot access that section to do it which leads me to believe the curl doesn't support that, so my question is.. where would i go about putting that information in the API block to be able to search for a users account VIA a command in discord /account name:john doe

[cold mural]

Why can't you add the query parameter? I don't really know the tool you're using or why it wouldnt allow that

But it's not a limitation of the stripe api

Can you use it to set query parameters?

eg: https://api.stripe.com/v1/customers/search?query=name~%22test%22

[unborn cedar]

so for example if i just include the {option_name} in the url.. it should work?

[cold mural]

You need to provide a valid query structure - I'm not sure what you mean by {option_name}

If you use the example I gave you but replace test with part of a name of one of your customers, it should return results

[unborn cedar]

so {option_user} is the variable used to grab the information inputted by the command user

so in this case that would be the account holders name

[cold mural]

sure, ok, so thats the value you'd use in query=name~"value"

[unborn cedar]

ah i see ok so: https://api.stripe.com/v1/customers/search?query=name~%22{option_name}%22

with or without the %22?

[cold mural]

That's just URL encoding the "

The quotation marks are needed for a valid query strcuture

[unborn cedar]

ah right gotcha so just add " before and after the option var

ahhhh yess i got it!!

so is there a way to check if they used a discount code? because in the return it shows as NULL

[cold mural]

Yay! 🎉

check if they used a discount code
In what context? That's a more complicated question

[unborn cedar]

so basically to see what discount code they used if they used one

so i can see in the return that there is a discount return but the customer i used this on did in fact use a discount code when purchasing the material however it returns NULL

[cold mural]

Use where? Do you have an example of what you mena?

[unborn cedar]

how would i get this to return the discount code they used when checking out?

[cold mural]

You wouldn't that's not how that works. That shows when coupons are applied to customers.

Instead you'd need to retrieve the sessions for a customer:
https://stripe.com/docs/api/checkout/sessions/list#list_checkout_sessions-customer

[unborn cedar]

ahhh gotcha ok makes sense

[cold mural]

The you can use the session total_details to look at discounts:
https://stripe.com/docs/api/checkout/sessions/object#checkout_session_object-total_details-breakdown-discounts

[unborn cedar]

oh nice ok, i didnt realise there was this much stuff i could turn into commands haha

[cold mural]

Note total_details.breakdown is includable and requires using expansion: https://stripe.com/docs/expand

So you can first check total_details.amount_discount to see if there was any discount

then retrieve that specific session using expand=total_details.breakdown to get the details

[unborn cedar]

hmm ok ill have a look into that. i cannot guarantee you wont see me again as im super new to all of this, thanks for all your help 🙂
