It's an expandable field you need to specify that in your request: https://docs.stripe.com/api/expanding_objects

Thank you, let me try this out
Actually, this is not clear to me. So you are saying that expandable fields can be gotten on stripe.charges.retrieve but not on stripe.customers.retrieve?
My usecase is this, I need to get customer by stripe id and get that customer's active subscription. Is there an easy way to do this that Stripe recommends?
astral folio
No, they can be expanding in any API call
bitter vessel
Sorry nevermind my previous message, I was able to get expanded field using:
const customer = await stripe.customers.retrieve( stripeCustId, { expand: ['subscriptions'], } );
Please let me know if this code is correct? And a follow-up question:
stripe.customers.retrieve() return type is:
Stripe.Response<Stripe.Customer | Stripe.DeletedCustomer>
Is there an easy way to get Stripe.Customer instead of Stripe.Response<Stripe.Customer | Stripe.DeletedCustomer>

const customer = await stripe.customers.retrieve(stripeCustId, {
expand: ['subscriptions']
});
Will work
bitter vessel
Yes I figured this out, thanks. Please let me know your answer to my follow-up question
astral folio
Is there an easy way to get Stripe.Customer instead of Stripe.Response<Stripe.Customer | Stripe.DeletedCustomer>
Don't understand what you mean
bitter vessel
I mean that when I make this API call:
const customer = await stripe.customers.retrieve( stripeCustId, { expand: ['subscriptions'], } );
And then I do this customer.subscriptions typescript complains that:
Property 'subscriptions' does not exist on type 'Response<Customer | DeletedCustomer>'.
How can I tell typescript that return type of stripe.customers.retrieve is Stripe.Customer so that this code works:
customer.subscriptions
Please let me know if this makes it clear?

You'd need to cast it: https://github.com/stripe/stripe-node?tab=readme-ov-file#using-expand-with-typescript

Ok thanks. That's not ideal, but it will work. Those are all my questions
