在 Stripe 中检索所有具有相同元数据值的产品

Question

In Stripe (using Next.js and Node.js), I'm trying to retrieve all products with the same key-value pair in their metadata:

example: retrieve all products with metadata: {category: 'foo'}

In attempts to render category-specific pages, I don't want to list and parse through my whole catalog but I also know that products can only be retrieved through id ( docs ), inferring that I would have to:

list all products 
for all products:
  if metadata matches, 
    add id to array
for id array:
  retrieve each

This is brute forcing though, and not a good idea.

What would be the best way to retrieve conditionally based on metadata ?

Any help is appreciated.

Answer 1

Stripe's API currently doesn't support querying Products using metadata. You'd have to retrieve all Products and filter through them. Stripe does have a Search API [2] which is currently in Beta so you might want to write in to see if you qualify.

If you happen to keep a track of Products server-side in a database, you could add an additional column for category. You can query your database by category to find those specific Products and then include just those Product IDs using the ids [2] parameter when you retrieve them through Stripe.

Answer 2

Stripe's Search API has been released and is no longer in beta. You can retrieve products using metadata per your original request. Example from Stripe documentation:

const stripe = require('stripe')('sk_test_i3ykuKQXMT0WrWVLRUmPODl2');

const product = await stripe.products.search({
  query: 'metadata[\'category\']:\'foo\'',
});
