Basically I wanted to get the information that shows in the "upcoming invoice"
But I'd need to know:
- current total usage based on the meter events for the current billing period for the different products under this subscription
fervent coyote
Hi there - I'll be with you shortly
deep phoenix
Sure, thanks @fervent coyote
fervent coyote
Alright, sorry for the wait; the server has been busy this morning
So that is to say you want to know how to retrieve all usage on a specific Subscription at a particular moment in time?
deep phoenix
For the current billing period would be enough! So what I'm not sure is if there's a better way than having to do the steps I described above, and I couldn't find in the API docs any other better way, so wanted to confirm
In my example above I have a price with the first 1000 units being free and then I start charging 1cent/unit
So I'd like to know if the usage is still below the 1000 units and what the exceeding (thus billable) is
fervent coyote
I think that this is what you are looking for: https://docs.stripe.com/api/billing/meter-event-summary/list
deep phoenix
Yeah, that's the only endpoint I found about doing it
But then there's no way around having to get the subscription to know the current billing period for that subscription, right?
And then I'd do the sum of all the event.aggregated_values - 1000 (which is the limit I know I've set) to know the exceeding, right?
fervent coyote
Yeah, I think the code you write to do this would have to be "aware" of what the billing period is on the individual Subscription in order for this to be useful in the way that you would like it to be
deep phoenix
Okay, sounds good, thanks @fervent coyote!
fervent coyote
You're welcome!
