It appears as if none of the SDKs actually have anything in this area - the docs just give you a cURL example
so - sure - I can use my own HTTP client and set my own Authorization request header
but .. I want to make use of the Golang Stripe SDK - is there some way I can reach into the internals and grab the (authenticated) HTTP client that Stripe uses itself? Or retrieve the headers the client sets?

Yeah we don't have a sdk method for this. We just use http basic auth though. You can provide your API key as the basic auth username value. You do not need to provide a password.

Okay - is there an accepted way to retrieve the Key given a stripe.Client - or would you suggest just pulling it from config manually?
it doesn't seem very well catered for
soft plover
Yeah just pull it from your env variable
dusk jasper
alright 👍

Agree this flow can be improved
