hi there 👋 taking a look

inner fiber Jul 8, 2025, 4:12 AM

#

Thank you

Could you try expanding verified_output [0] in your request body to /v1/identity/verification_sessions? it looks like the dob and id numbers are return under this parameter.

[0] https://docs.stripe.com/api/identity/verification_sessions/object#identity_verification_session_object-verified_outputs

inner fiber Jul 8, 2025, 4:23 AM

#

I do expand it like so: const verificationSession = await stripe.identity.verificationSessions.retrieve(
verificationSessionId,
{ expand: ['verified_outputs'] }
);

hybrid steeple Jul 8, 2025, 4:23 AM

#

You can actually expand it in your POST call when you create the verificationSession.

#

if you expand it when retrieving a Verification Session, do you not get date of birth and id too?

inner fiber Jul 8, 2025, 4:25 AM

#

By expand it when i create it do you mean in this code:
const verificationSession = await stripe.identity.verificationSessions.create
({
type: 'document',
provided_details: {
email: req.session.user.email,
},
metadata: {
user_id: req.session.user._id.toString(),
},
options: {
document: {
allowed_types: ['driving_license', 'passport', 'id_card'],
require_id_number: true,
require_live_capture: true,
require_matching_selfie: true
}
}
});
No i'm not getting date of birth or id. This is what i get:
Verified outputs: {
"address": {
"city": "San Francisco",
"country": "US",
"line1": "1234 Main St.",
"line2": "Apt 567",
"postal_code": "94111",
"state": "CA"
},
"email": null,
"first_name": "Jenny",
"id_number_type": "us_ssn",
"last_name": "Rosen",
"phone": null
}

inner fiber By expand it when i create it do you mean in this code: const verificationSessi...

Yes, i meant adding expand: [] in .create()
For the Verified Outputs body you shared, can you share with me the verification session ID that was retrieved? We're not able to see response body of GET API calls, so I will need the specifics

inner fiber Jul 8, 2025, 4:31 AM

#

Sure. and okay ill try that. The session ID is:
vs_1RiSfVI1HNERQZgvnJmAluz6

#

I get this error: Error: Stripe: Unknown arguments ([object Object]). Did you mean to pass an options object?
With the code:
const verificationSession = await stripe.identity.verificationSessions.create
({
type: 'document',
provided_details: {
email: req.session.user.email,
},
metadata: {
user_id: req.session.user._id.toString(),
},
options: {
document: {
allowed_types: ['driving_license', 'passport', 'id_card'],
require_id_number: true,
require_live_capture: true,
require_matching_selfie: true
}
}
}, {
expand: ['verified_outputs'] // Add expansion as second parameter
});

#

How do I grant my restricted test API key permission to read id_number and dob fields from verified_outputs?
Do I need to enable 'sensitive data access' or 'PII access' for my restricted key?

hybrid steeple Jul 8, 2025, 4:40 AM

#

Hmm let me see.. I do not think this is an issue with restricted keys because you would run into a permission error if it has to do with key's permission

inner fiber Jul 8, 2025, 4:40 AM

#

Oh I changed the code to this and I no longer get the error. But I still don't get the date of birth and id fields.
const verificationSession = await stripe.identity.verificationSessions.create
({
type: 'document',
provided_details: {
email: req.session.user.email,
},
metadata: {
user_id: req.session.user._id.toString(),
},
options: {
document: {
allowed_types: ['driving_license', 'passport', 'id_card'],
require_id_number: true,
require_live_capture: true,
require_matching_selfie: true
}
},
expand: ['verified_outputs']
});

#

Maybe it's a feature that doesn't work in test mode?

hybrid steeple Jul 8, 2025, 4:41 AM

#

is this the latest verification session you created: vs_1RiTJcI1HNERQZgvo7XSOD8t?

inner fiber Jul 8, 2025, 4:42 AM

#

Yes

hybrid steeple Jul 8, 2025, 4:43 AM

#

Hmm yeah I can see that it is null in req_Qz5JT44A0cZ0rI

#

I will need some time to look into this with my team. Would you mind if we work on this over email? I will drop you a dm to create a support case directly with us.

neon auroraBOT Jul 8, 2025, 4:44 AM

#

Hello @inner fiber, we have sent you a direct message, please check it at https://discord.com/channels/@me/1392003342263255052

🔗The message has instructions on how to open a direct support case with our Developer Support team, in order to help you more effectively.

inner fiber Jul 8, 2025, 4:44 AM

#

Okay sounds good

#

The link just takes me to help articles. I don't see an option to open a ticket.
Can you send me an email at uriahsanders99@gmail.com?

hybrid steeple Jul 8, 2025, 4:47 AM

#

are you logged into your Stripe account? You should see an option to create a support case on the right side

#

Also @inner fiber, you might want to be sure you are using restricted key instead of a secret key. I look into the Stripe account logs and noticed that req_uUhL8DzXcMCi68 and req_Qz5JT44A0cZ0rI are made using a secret key

inner fiber Jul 8, 2025, 4:49 AM

#

I am logged in. I definitely dont see that option. I see a "contact support" option but it just opens a stripe chat assistant

hybrid steeple Jul 8, 2025, 4:50 AM

#

I see, that's strange. What if you try this link: https://support.stripe.com/?contact=true

inner fiber Jul 8, 2025, 4:51 AM

#

I double checked the api key im using and it starts with rk_test

#

That takes me to the same page

hybrid steeple Jul 8, 2025, 4:52 AM

#

I see that the requests were being made using: sk_test_******************3KbPsS

inner fiber Jul 8, 2025, 4:52 AM

#

tbh i was trying to open a ticket but the discord server is all I could find

#

I did make one request using a restricted live key before I realized I could make a restricted test key

#

But the ones I sent you were made using rk_test

#

Do i have to use rk_test when I create the session?

#

Im only using it when i retrieve it

#

It's true that i"m using sk_test when i create it

#

Do i use rktest for both creation and retrieval or just one?

hybrid steeple Jul 8, 2025, 4:56 AM

#

right, after you specify that I do see you're using restricted key with .retrieve(). But if you are expanding in the creation call, you will need to create with a restricted key as well for the values to return I believe.

inner fiber Jul 8, 2025, 4:56 AM

#

Okay I will try that, one sec

hybrid steeple Jul 8, 2025, 4:57 AM

#

Also this page might be helpful: https://docs.stripe.com/identity/access-verification-results

inner fiber Jul 8, 2025, 4:58 AM

#

I get: StripePermissionError: The provided key 'rk_test_*********************************************************************************************W5zoxy' does not have the required permissions for this endpoint on account 'acct_1OVNjaI1HNERQZgv'. Having the 'rak_identity_product_write' permission would allow this request to continue.

hybrid steeple Jul 8, 2025, 4:58 AM

#

Yup that's a permission issue. does your RK have write permission to create verification sessions?

inner fiber Jul 8, 2025, 4:59 AM

#

No i think it only has read for that. I'll change that and try again

#

Okay the request went through but the fields are still missing

#

ID: vs_1RiTdbI1HNERQZgvelRGueh3

#

Yes I looked at that page when first getting started

hybrid steeple Jul 8, 2025, 5:03 AM

#

Okay thank for trying, I saw the creation request on my end: req_raoAdhYcONP1tt. I will check with my team if this has something to do with being in test mode.

#

As for creating a case with us, could you indicate your preference to talk to an agent in Stripe AI assistance? It should give you the option to select your Stripe account and the topic you need support for

#

I'll let my team know about the friction in contacting our support team as well. Sorry about that

inner fiber Jul 8, 2025, 5:05 AM

#

Oh I see now, I was supposed to select platform account. I saw the same page and didn't read the chat text I just assumed it was the same. I apologize

#

I created a support case

hybrid steeple Jul 8, 2025, 5:06 AM

#

gotcha

inner fiber Jul 8, 2025, 5:06 AM

#

Thank you for your help

hybrid steeple Jul 8, 2025, 5:07 AM

#

No worries, I got your case, I will follow up over email

inner fiber Jul 8, 2025, 5:07 AM

#

Excellent, thank you

#

About how long will it take for you all to get back to me?

hybrid steeple Jul 8, 2025, 5:08 AM

#

should be in the next few hours

#

is there anything else I can help in the meantime?

inner fiber Jul 8, 2025, 5:09 AM

#

Okay I'll be looking forward to it
No there's nothing else

#

I might not be able to review it until tomorrow though

hybrid steeple Jul 8, 2025, 5:09 AM

#

No worries, you can always follow up with our team over the email thread when you're available
