Stripe API Keys and Intents

Learn the basics of Stripe API.

The Stripe API is built around the REST paradigm. Stripe API accepts form-encoded request bodies and returns JSON responses along with standard HTTP status codes.

Stripe has excellent server-side libraries for Ruby, Python, NodeJS, PHP, .NET, and Go. If you like being old-school, you can just use curl in your terminal to test the APIs.

Throughout this course, you will be closely working with the stripe npm library for NodeJS.

Before proceeding, you need to get the Developer API keys from the Stripe dashboard.
