Hey folks 👋 You were very helpful the last time. I hope you can unblock me here 🙂

It sounds like you are running into a limitation of the sandboxed environment that the Stripe App runs in when loaded in the Stripe Dashboard. We document some of these here
When you say you want to download invoices in bulk, are you referring to the Invoice PDFs Stripe generates?

What is the overall use case here? You say download in bulk but to where? Why?

I need to send all invoices to my accountant every single month. As many other EU-based founders do, I believe. Currently, I need to manually open dozens of invoices and download the PDFs. So, I want to build an app to download all invoice PDFs for a specific date range.

I don't understand why you would need a Stripe App to handle this. This should be entirely achievable using the Stripe APIs. But, for the sake of argument, let's say you are using a Stripe App.
In that case your Stripe App would collect the Invoice IDs from the Dashboard context and send them to your server. Your server side code would retrieve the Invoice Objects from the API and use the Invoice PDF property to download the PDF files to your local file system.

Yes, this is what was my plan B. I didn't know about the Stripe App limitations, I've never build any before.
Anyway, really appreciate your advice and quick help!

Stripe Apps are a way for 3rd party developers to build extensions into the Stripe Dashboard. Because this can mean someone else's code interacting with your Stripe Account, we have some restrictions with how it can behave

You too 👋
