Stripe (sdk) An unknown parameter was included in the request.

The request contains parameters that are not recognized by the Stripe API.

Understanding Stripe SDK

Stripe is a powerful payment processing platform that provides a suite of APIs and SDKs for developers to integrate payment solutions into their applications. It supports a wide range of payment methods and currencies, making it a popular choice for businesses of all sizes. The Stripe SDK simplifies the process of handling payments, subscriptions, and other financial transactions.

Identifying the Symptom

When working with the Stripe SDK, you might encounter an error message indicating a parameter_unknown issue. This error typically manifests when you make an API request that includes parameters not recognized by Stripe. The error message will usually specify which parameter is causing the issue.

Example Error Message

Here is an example of what the error message might look like:

{
"error": {
"type": "invalid_request_error",
"message": "Received unknown parameter: example_param",
"param": "example_param"
}
}

Exploring the Issue

The parameter_unknown error occurs when your API request includes a parameter that is not part of the Stripe API specification. This can happen if there is a typo in the parameter name, if you are using an outdated version of the API, or if you are attempting to use a parameter that is not supported for the specific API endpoint you are calling.

Common Causes

  • Typographical errors in parameter names.
  • Using parameters from a different API version.
  • Including parameters that are not applicable to the endpoint.

Steps to Fix the Issue

To resolve the parameter_unknown error, follow these steps:

1. Review the API Documentation

Start by reviewing the Stripe API documentation for the specific endpoint you are using. Ensure that all parameters in your request are listed in the documentation and are spelled correctly.

2. Check for Typographical Errors

Double-check your code for any typographical errors in the parameter names. Even a small typo can result in an unknown parameter error.

3. Verify API Version

Ensure that you are using the correct version of the Stripe API. You can specify the API version in your request headers. Refer to the Stripe API versioning guide for more information.

4. Remove Unsupported Parameters

If you have included parameters that are not applicable to the endpoint, remove them from your request. Use the API documentation to verify which parameters are supported.

Conclusion

By following these steps, you should be able to resolve the parameter_unknown error in your Stripe SDK implementation. Always ensure that your API requests are aligned with the latest Stripe documentation to avoid similar issues in the future.
