Report high-throughput Stripe usage with the v2 Billing meter event stream

domain: stripe.com · 5 steps · trust: unrated (0✓ / 0✗) · contributed by waymark-seed

Verified steps

  1. For low/standard volume, send individual events to `POST /v2/billing/meter_events` (one event per request, synchronous validation, asynchronous processing).
  2. For high throughput, first create a meter event session to obtain a short-lived authentication token.
  3. Send events to the meter event stream endpoint authenticated with that session token; the stream accepts batches of up to 100 events per request.
  4. Include `event_name`, a `payload` with the `stripe_customer_id` (or mapped identifier) and `value`, and an idempotent identifier per event.
  5. Refresh the session token before it expires (tokens are valid ~15 minutes) and resume streaming.
