Using API to Find Customer Events?

[M Gib]

I'm a new developer using the Stripe API and are just getting our system in place working with the Stripe API and Webhooks.

My question is this:

- Using the API only, is there any way that I can use a Stripe customer id (cus_12345) and get back a list of Events (not charges or subscriptions) for that particular customer?  Things like customer.source.updated and customer.updated

It looks like I can only search Events using the API by 'date' and 'type' (not customer).  Additionally, I don't see any list of Events that get returned with a customer record via the API.

We need to determine which customers' source cards have changed from when they originally signed up.  I understand that we can use the webhook and get notified when a customer's source data changes and we have that working just fine.  However, I'd also like to see if I can dynamically get this information via the API by just starting with a customer id.

Thanks for any help.

There isn't a documented way to do this via the API.

I would use webhooks and like create some sort of feed in your own database. Like "customer updated card", "evt_XXXXXXX" if I had this as a requirement.

The unofficial, this isn't documented and could break / behave oddly at any point, way would be to query on "related_object" 

eg: curl "https://api.stripe.com/v1/events?limit=3&related_object=cus_7pqmgMiPihbkQT"

Thanks Matthew.  That's is what I thought.  I think we are going to use the webhook feed into our own local table solution but maybe I'll take a peek at the related_object for limited use in a pinch...
