Auto-pagination 

Our libraries support auto-pagination. This feature allows you to easily iterate through large lists of resources without having to manually perform the requests to fetch subsequent pages.

To use the auto-pagination feature in Python, simply issue an initial “list” call with the parameters you need, then call auto_paging_iter() on the returned list object to iterate over all objects matching your initial parameters.

import stripe
stripe.api_key = "sk_test_BQokikJ...2HlWgH4olfQ2sk_test_BQokikJOvBiI2HlWgH4olfQ2"
customers = stripe.Customer.list(limit=3)
for customer in customers.auto_paging_iter():
  # Do something with customer

Request IDs 

Each API request has an associated request identifier. You can find this value in the response headers, under Request-Id. You can also find request identifiers in the URLs of individual request logs in your Dashboard.

To expedite the resolution process, provide the request identifier when you contact us about a specific request.

import stripe
stripe.api_key = "sk_test_BQokikJ...2HlWgH4olfQ2sk_test_BQokikJOvBiI2HlWgH4olfQ2"
customer = stripe.Customer.create()
print(customer.last_response.request_id)

Versioning 

Each major release, such as Acacia, includes changes that aren’t backward-compatible with previous releases. Upgrading to a new major release can require updates to existing code. Each monthly release includes only backward-compatible changes, and uses the same name as the last major release. You can safely upgrade to a new monthly release without breaking any existing code. The current version is 2025-08-27.basil. For information on all API versions, view our API changelog.

  • Starting from stripe-python v6, the API version fixed at the time of your stripe-python version release dictates the requests you send using stripe-python.
  • On stripe-python v5 or lower, requests made with stripe-python use your Stripe account’s default API version, controlled in Workbench.

You can override the API version in your code in all versions.

To override the API version, assign the version to the stripe.api_version property, or set it per-request. When overriding it per-request, methods on the returned object reuse the same Stripe version.

Webhook events use the API version that’s set during your webhook’s endpoint creation. Otherwise, they use your Stripe account’s default API version (controlled in Workbench). If you’re on stripe-python v6 or later, match your webhook endpoint API version to the version pinned by your version of stripe-python (stripe.api_version property).

You can upgrade your API version in Workbench. As a precaution, use API versioning to test a new API version before committing to an upgrade.

import stripe
stripe.api_key = "sk_test_BQokikJ...2HlWgH4olfQ2sk_test_BQokikJOvBiI2HlWgH4olfQ2"
stripe.api_version = "2025-08-27.basil"

Balance 

This is an object representing your Stripe balance. You can retrieve it to see the balance currently on your Stripe account.

The top-level available and pending comprise your “payments balance.”

Balance Transactions 

Balance transactions represent funds moving through your Stripe account. Stripe creates them for every type of transaction that enters or leaves your Stripe account balance.
