C# Stripe: Create a PII Token

Back to Index

Creates a single use token that wraps the details of personally identifiable information (PII). This token can be used in place of a personal_id_number in the Account Update API method. These tokens can only be used once.

Documentation: https://stripe.com/docs/api/curl#create_pii_token

CURL Command

curl https://api.stripe.com/v1/tokens \
   -u STRIPE_SECRET_KEY: \
   -d pii[personal_id_number]=000000000 \
   -X POST

C# Example

Chilkat.Rest rest = new Chilkat.Rest();
bool success;

//  URL: https://api.stripe.com/v1/tokens
bool bTls = true;
int port = 443;
bool bAutoReconnect = true;
success = rest.Connect("api.stripe.com",port,bTls,bAutoReconnect);
if (success != true) {
    Debug.WriteLine("ConnectFailReason: " + Convert.ToString(rest.ConnectFailReason));
    Debug.WriteLine(rest.LastErrorText);
    return;
}

rest.SetAuthBasic("STRIPE_SECRET_KEY","");

rest.AddQueryParam("pii[personal_id_number]","000000000");

string strResponseBody = rest.FullRequestFormUrlEncoded("POST","/v1/tokens");
if (rest.LastMethodSuccess != true) {
    Debug.WriteLine(rest.LastErrorText);
    return;
}

Chilkat.JsonObject jsonResponse = new Chilkat.JsonObject();
jsonResponse.Load(strResponseBody);

string id;
string object;
bool client_ip;
int created;
bool livemode;
string type;
bool used;

id = jsonResponse.StringOf("id");
object = jsonResponse.StringOf("object");
client_ip = jsonResponse.IsNullOf("client_ip");
created = jsonResponse.IntOf("created");
livemode = jsonResponse.BoolOf("livemode");
type = jsonResponse.StringOf("type");
used = jsonResponse.BoolOf("used");
