⏱️ We close idle threads, which makes them read-only. Once a thread is closed it won't be reopened, but you can always start a new thread if you have another question.

Here are sample objects from that API response and the Inspector for the same invoice.

Hi! I don't really want to visually diff ~130 lines of JSON. Can you tellme more about what exactly is missing, and from where vs where?
(My bad, there's ~130 lines to expand, so I guess it's more like 230 or 330 lines)
dull orchid
The big ones that I'm missing are charge, subscription, and payment_intent at the root of the object, and plan and price on the line item
There are others, but those are the ones that are tripping me up
Thank you for jumping in to help.

When you say "the Inspector", what do you mean?
gloomy flame
Awesome. So the Inspector apparently shows things that aren't in the API result.
dull orchid
Yes, the API response only contains a subset of the fields that I see in the Inspector (and what the documentation says I should be seeing)
gloomy flame
Yep, that's apparently how it works. I don't know why it works that way, but it does.
Give me a sec to figure out how to get what you need using expand.
dull orchid
Oh. Thanks for confirming. That is unintuitive; looking at what I get from the API response for an invoice, I don't see any value that I can key off of to find the associated payment/charge.
I can at least see the associated subscription from the parent.subscription_details.subscription
gloomy flame
It is totally, and we're working on having it sorted out so it shows you exactly what you'd see in/from the API.
That's where the Subscription is, you've got it. In terms of getting the rest, it's here: https://docs.stripe.com/api/invoices/object#invoice_object-payments-data-payment-charge
...but you'll need to expand things to get there.
dull orchid
Thanks for the insight. Let me give that a try.
gloomy flame
You're welcome! 🙂
dull orchid
Okay, that worked; thank you for the sanity check. I've been bashing my head against this problem for longer than I would like to admit 😅
gloomy flame
You're very welcome, and I'm sorry - I can definitely imagine how frustrating that was for you.

A bit of feedback: as a developer, I expect the "API Explorer" tool to act like the API. I built a pile of assumptions off of that which ended up turning into a wild goose chase.
