stripe: How to convert stripe model object into JSON to get complete hierarchical data?

Question

How can I convert the stripe model object into JSON to receive complete hierarchical data at client end?

stripeCustomer = stripe.Customer.retrieve(<stripe customer id>)
sendResponseToClient(stripeCustomer)

I am receiving only 1st level of data as json at client end, second level data from Stripe JSON object is not formatted.

JSON Data Example: (2nd level of data is not received at client end,)

 Customer customer id=cus_DTWEPsfrHx3ikZ at 0x00000a> JSON: {

Answer 1

you can to_dict() api which will convert the stripe model object into dictionary format and then can be eventually converted into JSON string.

Answer 2

You can convert the returned Stripe object model to JSON using the following technique to ignore non-serializable fields:

stripeObject = stripe.SomeAPICall(...)
jsonEncoded = json.dumps(stripeObject, default=lambda o: '<not serializable>')
pythonDict = json.loads(jsonEncoded)
