Hi 👋 can you elaborate? What are you trying to do, and are you seeing any errors while doing so?

@hazy badge checking to see if you're still here and can share more context on what you're trying to do and what troubles you're running into?
hazy badge
hi yes. still here
I'm trying to send my stripe test data to my airtable database, using an extension on airtable called Data Fetcher.
I was curious if anyone on this Stripe discord has done this before as Data Fetcher doesnt have many videos or a large community, yet.
pliant cedar
Gotcha, unfortunately I'm not familiar with most of those tools so I won't be able to speak to most of the flow, but I may be able to provide assistance regarding getting the data out of Stripe.
Can you share a high-level understanding of how Data Fetcher works, would it essentially be making requests to the Stripe API for your account and then processing the data that is returned?
hazy badge
correct. I toggle Stripe test mode function and grab the test api publish and secret key and enter that to Data Fetcher. I then enter in my stripe endpoint and also the table name I want data to land on inside Airtable.
I have successfully done so with live data, but not with test data.

Gotcha, can you share the ID of the Stripe Account where you're trying to extract the test data? (should start with an acct_ prefix)
hazy badge
yes I can, but I have a meeting rn.
when I get back I can reply back on this thread Toby, thank you.

Depending on the timing, I may have needed to step away and closed the thread. So I'll give you a high level idea of what I was going to try to look into if you want to give it a try:
-
I was going to look at the request to fetch the data, to make sure it was being made in the right mode, to the right account, and see if it included any filters that could change the contents that are returned. You should be able to find that request from the logs in your dashboard:
https://dashboard.stripe.com/test/logs?method[0]=post&method[1]=delete&direction[0]=connect_in&direction[1]=self -
Then I was going to check the contents of the account to ensure there are test mode Subscriptions to be extracted.
-
The other thing to take into account, is that we've implemented a data retention policy for testmode Subscriptions, so it's possible the Subscriptions you're expecting to be returned have been canceled:

If the thread is closed and the above doesn't shed light on what is happening, you can try reaching out to us again via #dev-help.
