List all files ​

Returns a list of the files that your account has access to. Stripe sorts and returns the files by their creation dates, placing the most recently created files at the top.

Returns ​

A dictionary with a data property that contains an array of up to limit files, starting after the starting_after file. Each entry in the array is a separate file object. If there aren’t additional available files, the resulting array is empty.

Parameters ​

  • created (object, optional) Only return files that were created during the given date interval.

    • created.gt (integer, optional) Minimum value to filter by (exclusive)

    • created.gte (integer, optional) Minimum value to filter by (inclusive)

    • created.lt (integer, optional) Maximum value to filter by (exclusive)

    • created.lte (integer, optional) Maximum value to filter by (inclusive)

  • ending_before (string, optional) A cursor for use in pagination. ending_before is an object ID that defines your place in the list. For instance, if you make a list request and receive 100 objects, starting with obj_bar, your subsequent call can include ending_before=obj_bar in order to fetch the previous page of the list.

  • limit (integer, optional) A limit on the number of objects to be returned. Limit can range between 1 and 100, and the default is 10.

  • purpose (string, optional) Filter queries by the file purpose. If you don’t provide a purpose, the queries return unfiltered files.

  • starting_after (string, optional) A cursor for use in pagination. starting_after is an object ID that defines your place in the list. For instance, if you make a list request and receive 100 objects, ending with obj_foo, your subsequent call can include starting_after=obj_foo in order to fetch the next page of the list.
