Stripe's OpenAPI Specification

This repository contains OpenAPI specifications for Stripe's API.

Files can be found in the openapi/ directory:

  • spec3.{json,yaml}: OpenAPI 3.0 spec.
  • spec2.{json,yaml}: OpenAPI 2.0 spec. We're continuing to generate this for now, but it will be deprecated in favor of spec3.
  • fixtures3.{json,yaml}: Test fixtures for resources in spec3. See below for more information.
  • fixtures2.{json,yaml}: Test fixtures for resources in spec2.

Vendor Extensions

The specification ships with a few vendor-specific fields to help represent information in ways that are difficult in OpenAPI by default.

x-expandableFields

Resources include an x-expandableFields that contains a list of fields that are expandable by making an API request with an expand parameter. See expanding objects.

For example:

definitions:
  ...
  charge:
    ...
    x-expandableFields:
    - balance_transaction

x-expansionResources

Any expandable field within a resource contains a set of references to the resources that it might be expanded to.

For example:

definitions:
  ...
  charge:
    properties:
      ...
      balance_transaction:
        description: ID of the balance transaction that describes the impact of this
          charge on your account balance (not including refunds or disputes).
        type:
        - string
        x-expansionResources:
          oneOf:
          - "$ref": "#/definitions/balance_transaction"

x-polymorphicResources

Some API responses are "polymorphic" in that they might return multiple types of resources which is a case that OpenAPI can't handle. In these cases the spec will reference a "synthetic" resource which is an aggregate of the properties common to all the possible resources. It will also include the field x-polymorphicResources which references those resources more precisely.

For example:

definitions:
  ...
  external_account_source:
    properties:
      ...
    x-polymorphicResources:
      oneOf:
      - "$ref": "#/definitions/bank_account"
      - "$ref": "#/definitions/card"

x-resourceId and Fixtures

Resources include x-resourceId which is a canonical name for each resource. It can be used in conjunction with openapi/fixtures{2,3}.{json,yaml} to look up a sample representation (otherwise known as a "fixture") of the resource.

For example:

# spec.yaml
---
definitions:
  ...
  charge:
    ...
    x-resourceId: charge

# fixtures.yaml
---
invoice_line_item:
  ...
