@hard pier let's chat here!
hard pier
Alrighty
junior coral
Can you share more context on what you're trying to do?
hard pier
To better clarify what I'm going for,
I have one main server aand I am developing a python flask app
Typically, to do tests, I have to manually change the keys and test on my local device but... local testing and live testing seem to have totally diffeent results regarding data and webhook passings
So, I started using blueprints to hopefully split the paths (PYTHON FLASK)
and access the codes in different manners which... almost works
Ofcourse I have not figured out the client side script that has the public key but currently I'm only concerned with the back end....
both of these initilize stripe.api but with 2 different IDs
I know I can alwaus just start an entirely new get hub branch but that would require me to buy another server unless my novice is showing and I'm just wrong on that from the research I've done haha
Was this a substantial amount of information?
junior coral
I'm still a bit confused.
Can you share more details about this?

Right so
The api key is hosted in the application back end as a string as instructed in the api docs for strip implementation
Using Python. Though it’s better suited as a value inside of an environment folder, we can’t use that atm
Whenever I need to prepare for an update, I typically have to change that key manually
Note: I know I could just make another repository but this is being built for multiple users in the future that would not have access to the github repository or account
My goal is to not have to do a second repository and connect to 2 different stripe apis using one program
Im@not sure if this is something you guys would be knowledgeable on but decided to take a swing at it here

Just to make sure we're on the same page, the value you're changing is from a live secret key to a test secret key so you can test your changes, or something else?
hard pier
Currently it’s a test secret key
But will be a live secret key after this program is completed
junior coral
I'm still confused on how you're blocked. Manually changing the keys or using environment variables would be the way to go here, and redeploying your code
hard pier
I’m not blocked I’m just trying to come up with a way to do this without having to constantly change those keys. It’s okay though, as a separate question
If I change the API key in let’s say a function, will it still run by the previous key for every stripe function or will it go based on the new key
junior coral
How would you change the API key for a particular function?
hard pier
Not sure that’s why I’m asking I assume I can just call stripe.api_key again and change it there
