Stripe CLI

Stripe CLI is Stripe's official command line for local integration development, webhook testing, direct API requests, and request-log inspection. It combines generic API access with Stripe-specific helpers for common test and debugging loops.

• Forward Stripe webhooks to a local server, print signing secrets, and trigger or resend test events while developing integrations.
• Create, retrieve, update, and delete Stripe resources from the shell across a large generated command tree, or fall back to generic get, post, and delete requests.
• Tail live API request logs, inspect webhook traffic, and use fixtures or sample commands to reproduce integration scenarios faster.

• Resource commands return JSON responses, and streaming commands like listen --format JSON and logs tail --format JSON are straightforward to parse in follow-up shell steps.
• The command surface maps well to inspect, change, and verify loops, but unattended use depends on API keys or existing login state, and some flows open a browser or prompt before destructive actions.
• Best fit for agents working inside Stripe development or support workflows, especially sandbox testing, webhook debugging, and targeted API operations.

• Initial auth is browser-based by default with stripe login, though --api-key and an interactive fallback exist for non-browser setups.
• Some commands are long-running local development loops or safety-gated mutations, so they need extra orchestration in CI or unattended agent runs.
