Hi, there is https://docs.stripe.com/api/events/object#event_object-type where tell the Event name, and normally you can branching from that string and expect what object you will be receiving in data
golden lava
ya but thats teh webhook event type
it doesn't align with the objects
for example charge.pending is a Charge object https://docs.stripe.com/api/events/types#event_types-charge.pending
but charge.refund.update is a Refund object
https://docs.stripe.com/api/events/types#event_types-charge.refund.updated
The point I'm getting to is that stripe has over 300 Event type and there is no programmatic way to determine the Object being handled in the event
for my project idea I therefor need to maintain a mapper mapping out each Event to a object
It would be nice it they simply added a field indicating the type
is there a way I can provide such feedback?
daring cape
Yes sure I will record your feedback
And true agree charge.refund.update is a Refund object indeed
golden lava
my point is you cannot really parse what object you are dealling with - it needs to be hard coded
this could be avoided if the Event object announce which Stripe object it handles...
Btw
I have another question
Does stripe publish a json schema for each object?
daring cape
We only have it in our public API Reference https://docs.stripe.com/api
Search for any object here
ie. the Charge object https://docs.stripe.com/api/charges/object
golden lava
Ya
I am aware
Thats what I use when using a specific object
But im looking for a programming way to understand the object
Can u also put in a request to publish a json schema?
daring cape
Hi, how about this https://github.com/stripe/openapi/tree/master
golden lava
That might help
