## post

Make POST HTTP requests to the Stripe API. The `post` command supports API features like idempotency keys and expandable objects.

See the [API reference](/api) for a complete list of supported URL paths.

**Command:** `stripe post`

### Arguments

- `<path>`
  URL path of the API object to either create or update.

### Flags

- `-c, --confirm`
  Skip the warning prompt and automatically confirm the command being entered.

- `--dark-style`
  Use a darker color scheme better suited for lighter command-line environments.

- `-d, --data <value>`
  Additional data to send with an API request. Supports setting nested values (e.g `nested[param]=value`).

- `-e, --expand <value>`
  Response attributes to expand inline (target nested values with `nested[param]=value`).

- `-i, --idempotency <key>`
  Set an idempotency key for the request, preventing the same request from replaying within 24 hours.

- `--live`
  Make a live request (by default, runs in test mode).

- `-s, --show-headers`
  Show response HTTP headers.

- `--stripe-account <account_id>`
  Specify the Stripe account to use for this request.

- `-v, --stripe-version <version>`
  Specify the Stripe API version to use for this request.
