hi there!

Hi
vernal nymph
are you talking about this: https://docs.stripe.com/api/products/object?api-version=2025-05-28.basil&lang=curl#product_object-default_price
real yew
yes
vernal nymph
by default it's just a string with a Price ID (price_xxx), unless you use expand and in this case it would be a full Price object.
if you want to learn more about expand: https://docs.stripe.com/expand
real yew
Can I expand on retrieve? The docs say you cant.
As in they say there are no params accepted by it.

I recommend reading this giude about expand: https://docs.stripe.com/expand

In the documentation for retrieving a product, it says there are no parameters, the expand is a parameter you can pass to a request to expand objects inside the request as I understand it. So when the docs for the api retrieval of products says there are no parameters, I assumed that expand wouldn't work?
vernal nymph
got it, but expand works on all endpoints.
