Guest customers are not exposed via the API at all
If you used Customer objects you can list all invoices for that specific cus_xxx: https://docs.stripe.com/api/invoices/list#list_invoices-customer

ok, I'm doing that now, but is not very clear, if I use the checkout.session.create and I use the customer_creation:"always" I have a bunch of customer with the same email, is there anyway to just create a customer once and then all the transactions to that email create under the same customer, is this something I have to do on my end, like call stripe and check if customer exists or is there a way to do it?

No, we won't deduplicate Customer objects on a unique email address. So passing customer_creation: 'always' will get you a new cus_xxx each time, regardless of if a customer with that email address exists already
If that's important to you, you need to track the cus_xxx against users in your system and then you can re-use them for subsequent payments by passing the customer parameter when creating a session: https://docs.stripe.com/payments/accept-a-payment?platform=web&ui=checkout#handling-existing-customers
