stripe.net example for getting charges from the transfer object?

[Jamin Benjamin]

Can someone post an example in C# on how to get the charges from a transfer object?  (or advise me if I'm doing this wrong)

The goal here is to take action on charges that relate to a particular transfer.

using stripe.net

So here's what I'm doing:

1. receive transfer.created event

2. get the transfer ID from the event

3. call stripe API to get the transfer by transferID

4. ...

at this point, I am not seeing the transactions inside the StripeTransfer object.  I had thought the dot notation would lead down through the json like it displays on Stripes docs but it seems like I'm only getting the top level.  I believe that my shoddy json skills are to blame and I was hoping someone could offer a quick tap in the right direction.  My code thus far is pretty standard but I'll post it below anyway...

the transfer object json can be found here: https://stripe.com/docs/api#retrieve_transfer

My event handler:

var json = new StreamReader(context.Request.InputStream).ReadToEnd();

            // var mydata = JsonConvert.DeserializeObject<StripeTransfer>(json);

            var stripeEvent = StripeEventUtility.ParseEvent(json);

            StripeTransfer stripeTransfer;

            switch (stripeEvent.Type)

            {

                case "transfer.created":

                    stripeTransfer = Stripe.Mapper<StripeTransfer>.MapFromJson(stripeEvent.Data.Object.ToString());

                    var transferId = stripeTransfer.Id;

                    stripeTransfer = _stripeManager.GetTransfer(transferId);

                    

                    _stripeManager.ProcessTransfer(stripeTransfer);

                    break;

Ok, with the help of a neat little ruby gem called Ultrahook...made local testing of the webhooks a bit easier.  

Since the event is incoming data, I just want to nab the transferId and all the chargeIds, then use them to make my own data calls to get back data that I know is from Stripe.  Here is a snippet from my event handler:

var json = new StreamReader(context.Request.InputStream).ReadToEnd();

            var stripeEvent = StripeEventUtility.ParseEvent(json);

            StripeTransfer stripeTransfer;
            switch (stripeEvent.Type)
            {
                case "transfer.created":
                    stripeTransfer = Stripe.Mapper<StripeTransfer>.MapFromJson(stripeEvent.Data.Object.ToString());

                    string transferId = stripeTransfer.Id;
                    // do some stuff

                   
                    for (int i = 0; i < Int32.Parse(stripeEvent.Data.Object["transactions"]["total_count"].ToString()); i++)
                    {
                        string chargeId = stripeEvent.Data.Object["transactions"]["data"][i]["id"];
                        // send ID over to business tier for processing

                    }
                    break;

Ok, so the above example does not work...well, it does but using total_count errors out with out of range index.  For some reason there are only 5 charge objects in my transfer data even though the data's total_count says 17.  I suspect it may be intentional on Stripe's side and that I probably need to explicitly request all charges.

 

Finding assistance with stripe.net has been pretty much impossible but for the record it is a beautiful API.  Jayme Davis is a ninja rock star.  I'll be working on this today so once had I'll be sure and post the solution.

Thanks in advance, Self, for your responses.

SOLUTION: Stripe.net, getting all charges in a transfer

Ok, turns out you can get the list of charges (not limited to 5) by hitting the transfers/{id}/transactions end point.  But after talking to Stripe support, I learned that there is a proper way to do this and my way wasn't really the right way.  The end point to get all charges in a transfer is this:

https://api.stripe.com/v1/balance/history?transfer={transferId}&type=charge

Now that I know that, of course, I see in the documentation (https://stripe.com/docs/api#balance_history) the parameters are shown right there.  So now that I'm on the right track using balance/history, Stripe.net has my back (and always did) 

Here is the code, tested and works:

public IEnumerable<StripeBalanceTransaction> GetChargesByTransferId(string transferId, StripeBalanceTransactionType type)

        {

            try

            {

                var balanceService = new StripeBalanceService();

                var options = new StripeBalanceTransactionListOptions

                {

                    TransferId = transferId,

                    Type = type.ToString()

                };

                IEnumerable<StripeBalanceTransaction> balanceTransactions = balanceService.List(options);

                return balanceTransactions;

            }

            catch (StripeException sex)

            {

                throw;

            }

            catch (Exception ex)

            {

                throw;

            }

I wanna thank Jonathan and Bernie at Stripe for pointing me in the right direction.  Stripe's support has been fairly quick, friendly, respectful, and all on a Saturday afternoon during a world cup match...thanks fellas

to clarify, StripeBalanceTransactionType is not part of Stripe.net, that's a enum from my own application (made up of the types listed in Stripe's API docs)
