Stripe Tokens API

Tokenization is the process Stripe uses to collect sensitive card or bank account details, or personally identifiable information (PII), directly from your customers in a secure manner. A token representing this information is returned to your server to use. Use our recommended payments integrations to perform this process on the client-side. This guarantees that no sensitive card data touches your server, and allows your integration to operate in a PCI-compliant way.

Stripe Tokens API is one of 159 APIs that Stripe publishes on the APIs.io network, described by a machine-readable OpenAPI specification.

Tagged areas include Tokens. The published artifact set on APIs.io includes API documentation, an API reference, and an OpenAPI specification.

This API exposes 5 operations across 4 paths, and defines 10 schemas. It is described by OpenAPI 3.2.0, at version 2023-10-16.

Requests are made against a single base URL, https://api.stripe.com/.

Where this information came from

This is an independent, third-party profile of Stripe Tokens API, published by API Evangelist. We do not operate, host, resell, or support these APIs, and we are not affiliated with or endorsed by the company unless stated above. Everything here is built from publicly available information — the company's own site, developer portal, documentation, public repositories, and the specifications it publishes for public use. Nothing is obtained by breaching a system, defeating an access control, or using credentials.

The Kin Score and Agent Readiness rating are independently calculated assessments of a company's public API artifacts, scored against a published rubric. They are not certifications, endorsements, security assessments, or audits.

Corrections, re-scores, and removal are free — no partnership or purchase required, and you do not need to justify the request. A removed company is recorded as unrated, never scored zero for having asked. Acknowledgement within one business day; removal within two.
