# Use cases

Use Workbench to accomplish common developer tasks.

[Workbench](https://docs.stripe.com/workbench.md) provides many tools for developers to debug, manage, and grow their Stripe integration. These guides help you understand how to accomplish common developer tasks.

## View the API versions used by API requests 

When you send requests to Stripe, you can specify an API version with the `Stripe-Version` header. If you don’t specify an API version, Stripe uses your account’s [default API version](https://docs.stripe.com/upgrades.md#how-can-i-upgrade-my-api).

1. Open the [Overview](https://dashboard.stripe.com/workbench/overview) tab in Workbench.
1. Review the **API versions** section to see requests made in the last week.
1. Your account’s default **API version** shows the label (Default). Any requests made using the latest API version show the label (Latest).

To view a list of versions, see the [API changelog](https://docs.stripe.com/upgrades.md#api-versions)

## View recent integration errors 

Stripe automatically groups recent integration errors by error type and endpoint.

1. Open the [Errors](https://dashboard.stripe.com/workbench/errors) tab in Workbench.
1. In the **Recent errors** pane, select the time period to filter errors by.
1. Click a group of errors to see the **Summary** describing the number of occurrences, API endpoint, and request source.

## View API request logs by HTTP method or status 

Use these steps to filter API request logs by HTTP method or status.

1. Open the [Logs](https://dashboard.stripe.com/workbench/logs) tab in Workbench.
1. Click **Status** to filter by **Succeeded** or **Failed** requests. (See the [complete list of HTTP status codes](https://docs.stripe.com/error-low-level.md#status-codes) that Stripe returns.)
1. Click **Apply**.

## View API request logs by source 

Use these steps to filter API request logs by source. API requests can originate by either actions in the Dashboard, or by a direct API call (for example, by using an SDK).

1. Open the [Logs](https://dashboard.stripe.com/workbench/logs) tab in Workbench.
1. Click **More filters**.
1. In **Source**, select **Dashboard** or **API** to filter requests by source.
1. Click **Apply**.

## Filter by resource ID 

When you create, update, or delete a Stripe resource using Stripe APIs, Stripe returns a resource ID in the response payload. For example, when you [Create a customer](https://docs.stripe.com/api/customers/create.md), Stripe returns a customer ID (in the `id` field), such as `cus_ImZZa3EEvvQQQU`. Use these steps to filter API requests by resource ID.

1. Open the [Logs](https://dashboard.stripe.com/logs) tab in Workbench.
1. Enter the resource ID in the **Filter by resource** ID text field and press **Enter** on your keyboard.

## Filter events 

Use these steps to view events and their event object payload.

1. Open the [Events](https://dashboard.stripe.com/events) tab in Workbench.
1. To filter by event, click **Event type**:
   - Enter an event name. For example, `payment_intent.created`.
   - Enter an event with the wildcard character. For example, `payment_intent.*`.
1. Click **Apply**.

## View errors for a workflow run

You can use Workbench to inspect a [workflow](https://docs.stripe.com/workflows.md) run. Click a step in the workflow in the Dashboard to see details, or open it in Workbench for inspection. To learn more, see [Set up a workflow](https://docs.stripe.com/workflows/set-up.md#observe-workflow).
