No API key provided

[lcfd]

👋 Hi!
I'm getting this strange error that says I'm not providing any API key.

AuthenticationError: No API key provided. (HINT: set your API key using
                    "stripe.api_key = <API-KEY>"). You can generate API keys from the Stripe web
                    interface.  See https://stripe.com/api for details, or email
                    [email protected] if you have any questions.

Triggered by this line:

customer = models.Customer.objects.get(subscriber=self.request.user)

I'm using the settings suggested by the documentation:

STRIPE_TEST_SECRET_KEY = os.environ.get("STRIPE_TEST_SECRET_KEY", "<your secret key>")
STRIPE_TEST_PUBLIC_KEY = os.environ.get("STRIPE_TEST_PUBLIC_KEY", "<your secret key>")
STRIPE_LIVE_MODE = False
DJSTRIPE_WEBHOOK_SECRET = "whsec_xxx"
DJSTRIPE_USE_NATIVE_JSONFIELD = True
DJSTRIPE_FOREIGN_KEY_TO_FIELD = "id"

I've noticed that executing this Django management command:

python manage.py djstripe_sync_models

It immediately reports this "error"

Skipping <class 'djstripe.models.base.IdempotencyKey'>: not a StripeModel
Skipping <class 'djstripe.models.api.APIKey'>: no stripe_class

They look related, but I don't know if I'm missing something in Django or Stripe.

Thanks for your help!

I’m guessing you’re using the latest release candidate. API keys have to now be added through the db admin instead of in settings. Just go to /admin (or wherever you’re admin url is), go to api keys, add api key, and paste it into the secret field. It will automatically detect if it’s a public or private key.

@lcfd Your error is bizzare because the line customer = models.Customer.objects.get(subscriber=self.request.user) has nothing to do with Stripe or dj-stripe. You are simply checking if the object exists in the DB or not. dj-stripe has no way of "intercepting" this call. Moreover, if your keys were not in the DB, the command python manage.py djstripe_sync_models would've exited and asked you to populate api_keys in the DB to run sync.

And regarding the following section:

Skipping <class 'djstripe.models.base.IdempotencyKey'>: not a StripeModel
Skipping <class 'djstripe.models.api.APIKey'>: no stripe_class

These are simply console warnings to let the user know what all models dj-stripe cannot sync and require no action from the user.

You would need to post the complete traceback along with the dj-stripe and python versions for me to be able to help you.

I hope this helps.

@eliezerp3 Here is the traceback. I hope it will be helpful.

Django Version: 3.2.15
Python Version: 3.10.5
dj-stripe 2.6.2

@lcfd Ahh. Now it makes sense. I could be wrong but it seems you’re getting two seperate errors. The first one is for the line

customer = models.Customer.objects.get(subscriber=self.request.user)

where it can’t find a customer that matches that user. You’re also getting a seperate error from the line

session = stripe.checkout.Session.create(

because you aren’t passing the api_key (which setting it globally in settings.py should have fixed).

Just a tip; you can use

customer, created = models.Customer.get_or_create(subscriber=self.request.user)

to have a customer created with that user if one cannot be found

Thanks for the valuable advice! ❤️
I'm about to try to fix the situation. I'll report here how it will go.

Just a tip; you can use

If I may suggest this can be a good addition to the examples in the repository. The code that I'm using comes from there.

I confirm that by setting

import stripe
stripe.api_key = “secret”

the problem is solved 🎉
I go ahead and see how the rest goes.
