Hi there
iron spade
Hi, can you please help me resolve this?
sage cape
Yep. What's your account id?
sage cape
Is that the account that owns the API keys you're using to make the request? If you're using a sandbox account, then that account
iron spade
Yes and I'm using test mode not sandbox if that makes any difference?
sage cape
no that's fine
okay, my colleague solanum told me you're using something called FileMaker - is that still the case?
iron spade
correct, he identified an extra %22 in my request which I have fixed it already.
I used to get thie erros which is now fixed:
{ "error": { "code": "parameter_unknown", "doc_url": "https://stripe.com/docs/error-codes/parameter-unknown", "message": "Received unknown parameter: query", "param": "query", "request_log_url": "https://dashboard.stripe.com/test/logs/req_VinGIG7zbHeqSi?t=1764180700", "type": "invalid_request_error" }}
but now Im facing this error:
{ "error": { "message": "Invalid API Key provided: 'sk_test*********************QUg7", "type": "invalid_request_error" }}
and this is muy cURL request:
-G --url 'https://api.stripe.com/v1/customers/search' -u 'sk_test_•••QUg7:' -H 'Stripe-Version: 2025-11-17.clover' --data-urlencode query=metadata['appCustomerID']:'320A54B3-7B6C-344B-92C0-1395F8CCCF59'
sage cape
is this literally the API key you provided to the request, or have you redacted part of the key? 'sk_test*QUg7"
Please don't paste the full unredacted api key into the chat
iron spade
it is redacted
sage cape
can you open up a terminal and try the exact same request from the command line?
iron spade
C:\Windows\System32>curl -G --url 'https://api.stripe.com/v1/customers/search' -u 'sk_test_xxxQUg7:' -H 'Stripe-Version: 2025-11-17.clover' --data-urlencode query=metadata['appCustomerID']:'320A54B3-7B6C-344B-92C0-1395F8CCCF59'
curl: (3) Could not parse the URL, failed to set query
sage cape
can you try this request to see if it works?
curl https://api.stripe.com/v1/customers
-u "sk_test_id:"
-d name="Jenny Rosen"
--data-urlencode email="jennyrosen@example.com"
iron spade
C:\Windows\System32>curl --ssl-no-revoke "https://api.stripe.com/v1/customers" ^

Okay that's good, so the key does work
Ok, lets try something very basic on the Search API endpoint, straight from the docs:
curl -G https://api.stripe.com/v1/customers/search
-u "sk_test_id:"
--data-urlencode query="email:'sally@rocketrides.io'"
you can change the email to something that actually has a result if you want but you should get an empty object and not an error if it succeeds
iron spade
C:\Windows\System32>curl --ssl-no-revoke -G "https://api.stripe.com/v1/customers/search"^
-u "sk_test_xxxxxQUg7:"^
--data-urlencode query="email:'info@iavenue.ca'"
{
"error": {
"code": "parameter_missing",
"doc_url": "https://stripe.com/docs/error-codes/parameter-missing",
"message": "Missing required param: query.",
"param": "query",
"request_log_url": "https://dashboard.stripe.com/test/logs/req_BIV7XAH6q2URLu?t=1764183499",
"type": "invalid_request_error"
}
}
curl: (3) URL rejected: Bad hostname
C:\Windows\System32>
sage cape
what in the world. That request works fine for me 🤔
can you remove --ssl-no-revoke and try it exactly as I gave it to you?
iron spade
Sure, let me try that
This is what I get:
PS C:\WINDOWS\system32> curl -G "https://api.stripe.com/v1/customers/search"
-u "sk_test_xxxxxQUg7:"--data-urlencode query="email:'info@iavenue.ca'"
At line:3 char:4
- --data-urlencode query="email:'info@iavenue.ca'"
- ~
Missing expression after unary operator '--'.
At line:3 char:4 - --data-urlencode query="email:'info@iavenue.ca'"
-
Unexpected token 'data-urlencode' in expression or statement.
+ CategoryInfo : ParserError: (:) [], ParentContainsErrorRecordException

PS C:\WINDOWS\system32>
iron spade
got it working in powershell with below curl:
curl.exe --ssl-no-revoke -G "https://api.stripe.com/v1/customers/search" -u sk_test_xxxxQUg7:
-H "Stripe-Version: 2025-11-17.clover" `
--data-urlencode "query=email:'info@iavenue.ca'"
sage cape
Sorry I was helping someone else, but I came around to the same answer - I think powershell parses differently
and you can use curl.exe as well as a few different other options, but that seems the easiest
iron spade
but still not working wit Command Prompt nore FileMaker
C:\Windows\System32>curl --ssl-no-revoke -G "https://api.stripe.com/v1/customers/search" `
{
"error": {
"message": "You did not provide an API key. You need to provide your API key in the Authorization header, using Bearer auth (e.g. 'Authorization: Bearer YOUR_SECRET_KEY'). See https://stripe.com/docs/api#authentication for details, or we can help at https://support.stripe.com/.",
"type": "invalid_request_error"
}
}
curl: (3) URL rejected: Bad hostname
C:\Windows\System32> -u sk_test_OoAyRbgIzOYWJTaSFuUaQUg7: `

'-H' is not recognized as an internal or external command,

C:\Windows\System32> --data-urlencode "query=email:'info@iavenue.ca'"
sage cape
Yeah it seems like an issue related to the specific shell you're using
iron spade
okay, thanks for your help. I'll see what I can do.
sage cape
try this in command prompt:
curl --ssl-no-revoke -G "https://api.stripe.com/v1/customers/search" -H "Authorization: Bearer sk_test_OoAyRbgIzOYWJTaSFuUaQUg7" -H "Stripe-Version: 2025-11-17.clover" --data-urlencode "query=email:'info@iavenue.ca'"
