I am using nodejs without any library/npm to make a charge on stripe using the test api key.

However I am always getting 400 status code response, and can't understand why, can someone give me an hint?

Here is my request details:

 protocol: 'https:',
 hostname: 'api.stripe.com',
 method: 'POST',
 path: 'v1/charges',
 timeout: 5000,
 headers:
 'Content-Type': 'application/x-www-form-urlencoded',
 'Content-Length': 72 ,
 auth: 'sk_test_JOXtNqPjvpFgLXMiwuWWKZxu:' 

And here is my payload (using querystring.stringify):

amount=5000&currency=usd&description=Tiago_1541865841578&source=tok_amex

Thank you in advance for any help!

Here is the code, the method where I do the request it self:

helpers.sendRequest = function(protocol, port, hostname, method, path, timeoutSeconds, contentType, postData)

 // Stringify the payload
 var stringPayload = querystring.stringify(postData);

 // Construct the request
 var requestDetails = 
 'protocol' : protocol+':',
 'hostname' : hostname,
 'method' : method,
 'path' : path,
 'port' : port,
 'auth': ('Bearer ' + Buffer.from(config.stripe.secretApiKeyTest).toString('base64') + ":"),
 'timeout' : timeoutSeconds * 1000,
 'headers' :
 'Authorization': ('Bearer ' + Buffer.from(config.stripe.secretApiKeyTest).toString('base64') + ":"),
 'teste':'ola',
 "teste2":"ola2",
 'Content-Type':contentType,
 'Content-Length': Buffer.byteLength(stringPayload)
 
 ;

 console.log("Request Details:")
 console.log(requestDetails);
 console.log("Payload:")
 console.log(stringPayload);

 // Instantiate the request object (using either the http or https module)
 var _moduleToUse = protocol == 'http' ? http : https;
 var req = _moduleToUse.request(requestDetails, function(res)
 console.log(res.statusCode);

 );

 // Bind to the error event so it doesn't get thrown
 req.on('error',function(e)
 callback(err, e);
 );

 // Bind to the timeout event
 req.on('timeout',function()
 callback(true, 'Error': 'The request took much time and got timeout.')
 );

 // Add the payload
 req.write(stringPayload);

 // End the request
 req.end();
 ;

And here is where I call the aux method to send the request:

var stripeRequestObject = 
 amount: (totalPrice*100),
 currency: 'usd',
 description: userData.name+'_'+Date.now(),
 source: stripeToken,
 ;

 genericHelper.sendRequest('https',
 443,
 'api.stripe.com',
 'POST',
 'v1/charges',
 5,
 'application/x-www-form-urlencoded',
 stripeRequestObject);

In the auth you need to add Bearer before the token, that's how you send tokens to API. I tried to do the request on postman and it works, you can use axios or superagent to perform the request in you js file

That is how I did it.

const requestDetails = 
 protocol: 'https:',
 hostname: 'api.stripe.com',
 port: 443,
 method: 'POST',
 path: '/v1/charges',
 headers: 
 'Content-Type': 'application/x-www-form-urlencoded',
 'Content-Length': Buffer.byteLength(stringPayload),
 Authorization: `Bearer $config.stripe.testAPIkey.Secret`
 
 ;

There is a typo in your code

'v1/charges'

should be

'/v1/charges'
