Are you listening to the events locally or through the endpoint set on Dashboard?

[brittle burrow]

Im trying both locally and resending the webhook through the dashboard in prod and getting the same errors

This is the only key im using in my express server, should I be using the publishable key somewhere also?

[eager hearth]

Ah! I see where the problem is. In stripe.webhooks.constructEvent(..) function, the third parameter is Webhook secret, not API secret key

[brittle burrow]

i never even realized those were two different keys will try it out quickly

[eager hearth]

You can get the Webhook secret by going to https://dashboard.stripe.com/test/webhooks > Choose webhook endpoint > Under Signing secret and click Reveal

If you use local listener, it should show Webhook secret in your console

Webhook secret is in the format of whsec_xxx

[brittle burrow]

Oh yeah I see it at the top when I start the listener

Hmm Im still getting the same signature errors. The signing secret in the dashboard and locally are different but Ive tried both but still getting the same errors

also just inputing them directly just to be sure instead of using .env variables

i did also restart the local test listener

[eager hearth]

Can you disable the one on Dashboard first and only use local listener with the webhook secret of local listener?

[brittle burrow]

Dashboard endpoint has been disabled, restarted everything

just trying to give all context

[eager hearth]

In your latest code, I don't see express.raw({type: 'application/json'} being added

You should be able to retrieve the request body directly

[brittle burrow]

will switch that back again one sec

[eager hearth]

You can find the example here: https://stripe.com/docs/webhooks#verify-official-libraries

[brittle burrow]

Now getting this error again im pulling my hair out lol

code is exactly the same unless im blind

[eager hearth]

Can you log req.body and share the value with this code?

[eager hearth]

What is the default request parser in you Node app?

[brittle burrow]

is what youre referring to the api.use(express.json()) at the top of my file?

[eager hearth]

Ah yes! This is the problem!

It will go to express json parser first, then raw parse again

You should ensure that your webhook endpoint doesn't go through express json parser

[brittle burrow]

So fairly new to this stuff, so If I remove that will I have to add it as middleware in my other endpoints

[eager hearth]

For example,

app.use((req, res, next) => {
  if (endpoint === '/subscription') {
    express.raw({type: 'application/json',})(req, res, next);
  } else {
    express.json()(req, res, next);
  }
});

[brittle burrow]

I thought adding the express.raw would sort of override/undo that

[eager hearth]

Nope! It won't override

[brittle burrow]

in my /subscription endpoitn

[eager hearth]

It will parse again on top of the default parser

Above code is just a pseudo example. Your code should modify accordingly

[brittle burrow]

My god it worked

thank you so much lol

Helped with both issues I was having

the wrong key + middleware

[eager hearth]

Yay! Great to hear that everything is working now!

[brittle burrow]

Appreciate it, had spent like 6 hours on and off working on it before i asked in here

[eager hearth]

No problem! Happy to help 😄
