Hi, can you share the specific request id where you saw this error? Here's how you can find a request ID: https://support.stripe.com/questions/finding-the-id-for-an-api-request
Also, can you share the request id from when it worked?
terse pebble
It works when I use the Stripe shell to send the billing events. It didn;t work when I use our stripe python SDK in our backend system

Can you share the request ids please?

I don't have the request ID
it failed in the SDK before the ID is generated
stripe.billing.MeterEvent.create(
... event_name="number_of_payroll_employees",
... payload={"value": "25", "stripe_customer_id": "cus_RHfpHo428gfbSC"},
... identifier="identifier_123",
... )
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
AttributeError: module 'stripe' has no attribute 'billing'
hushed dragon
module 'stripe' has no attribute 'billing' indicates you're using too old of a version of the sdk
Before stripe.billing was added
What version of the python sdk are you using
hushed dragon
That's an exception thrown by the sdk
meaning that method doesn't exist
So it's an sdk version issue
The version you're using does not have that method
terse pebble
Do you know which version introduces the billing object?
hushed dragon
Not off the top of my head no
You can try to track it down in the changes: https://github.com/stripe/stripe-python/tree/master
sdk is public
But if you just use the latest it'll have it
Note that that would also use the latest api version in requests though
terse pebble
yeah, we are still using the 2018-02-28 api version as the default
hushed dragon
Yeah later sdk versions are pinned to latest api version
So if you want to override that and continue using 2018-02-28, then you'd need to explicitly set the api version in the sdk: https://docs.stripe.com/api/versioning
Just a heads up
terse pebble
got it, other than that, it would be safe to update the sdk?
hushed dragon
There may be breaking changes
So you'd have to thoroughly test your integration
There's a long changelog that shows all breaking changes in the above linked sdk on github
You were on a very old version, so there's likely going to be several
On 5.5.0, we just had usage records
meter events are a more recent change
