Body format for Stripe POST operations

Question

I'm accessing the stripe API directly with the REST API (not using a library) but, surprisingly, I can't find documentation on the appropriate body format post data.

Does Stripe expect JSON or form-encoded pairs?

Answer 1

Form encoded pairs

The docs for cURL provide good examples. They're just feeding form encoded key/value pairs via the -d switch via cURL on the command line. Just make sure you use your test secret key so you don't screw up any live data. Then you can play around all you want.

The returned data is JSON.
