I am using nodejs without any library/npm to make a charge on stripe using the test api key.

However I am always getting 400 status code response, and can't understand why, can someone give me an hint?

Here is my request details:

{ protocol: 'https:',

  hostname: 'api.stripe.com',

  method: 'POST',

  path: 'v1/charges',

  timeout: 5000,

  headers:

   { 'Content-Type': 'application/x-www-form-urlencoded',

     'Content-Length': 72 },

  auth: 'sk_test_JOXtNqPjvpFgLXMiwuWWKZxu:' }

And here is my payload (using querystring.stringify):

amount=5000&currency=usd&description=Tiago_1541865841578&source=tok_amex

Thank you in advance for any help!

Here is the code, the method where I do the request it self:

helpers.sendRequest = function(protocol, port, hostname, method, path, timeoutSeconds, contentType, postData){



   // Stringify the payload

   var stringPayload = querystring.stringify(postData);



   // Construct the request

   var requestDetails = {

     'protocol' : protocol+':',

     'hostname' : hostname,

     'method' : method,

     'path' : path,

     'port' : port,

     'auth': ('Bearer ' + Buffer.from(config.stripe.secretApiKeyTest).toString('base64') + ":"),

     'timeout' : timeoutSeconds * 1000,

     'headers' :{

       'Authorization': ('Bearer ' + Buffer.from(config.stripe.secretApiKeyTest).toString('base64') + ":"),

       'teste':'ola',

       "teste2":"ola2",

       'Content-Type':contentType,

       'Content-Length': Buffer.byteLength(stringPayload)

     }

   };



   console.log("Request Details:")

   console.log(requestDetails);

   console.log("Payload:")

   console.log(stringPayload);



   // Instantiate the request object (using either the http or https module)

   var _moduleToUse = protocol == 'http' ? http : https;

   var req = _moduleToUse.request(requestDetails, function(res){

       console.log(res.statusCode);



   });



   // Bind to the error event so it doesn't get thrown

   req.on('error',function(e){

     callback(err, e);

   });



   // Bind to the timeout event

   req.on('timeout',function(){

     callback(true, {'Error': 'The request took much time and got timeout.'})

   });



   // Add the payload

   req.write(stringPayload);



   // End the request

   req.end();

 };

And here is where I call the aux method to send the request:

var stripeRequestObject = {

                            amount: (totalPrice*100),

                            currency: 'usd',

                            description: userData.name+'_'+Date.now(),

                            source: stripeToken,

                        };



                        genericHelper.sendRequest('https',

                          443,

                          'api.stripe.com',

                          'POST',

                          'v1/charges',

                          5,

                          'application/x-www-form-urlencoded',

                          stripeRequestObject);

In the auth you need to add Bearer before the token, that's how you send tokens to API. I tried to do the request on postman and it works, you can use axios or superagent to perform the request in you js file

That is how I did it.

const requestDetails = {

            protocol: 'https:',

            hostname: 'api.stripe.com',

            port: 443,

            method: 'POST',

            path: '/v1/charges',

            headers: {

              'Content-Type': 'application/x-www-form-urlencoded',

              'Content-Length': Buffer.byteLength(stringPayload),

              Authorization: `Bearer ${config.stripe.testAPIkey.Secret}`

            }

          };

There is a typo in your code

'v1/charges'

should be

'/v1/charges'
