Hi there, the webhook event themselves do not contain an idempotency_key

#

ohh!

#

i was sure that i saw that somewhere

#

Sorry, please allow me to correct, it does contain the key in the request: https://stripe.com/docs/api/events/object#event_object-request

#

This property is populated for events on or after May 23, 2017.

#

i'm confused 🙂

#

Is there anything I can help with your use case?

mellow comet Jan 12, 2022, 5:33 AM

#

they say that it's only populated for event after 2017, so it should be present

#

ohh i've just read that it's related to the request that generated it

#

what about the case of a webhook ?

The webhook event with the id evt_xxxxx should contain the key, do you have an example event I could refer to please?

Hi @mellow comet, this is Jack from Stripe. this particular event is an automatic handling (subscription status from active to past_due) which it's not triggered by your API call, that's why both id and idempotency_key are null.
