Requesting request-id

[danlo]

Greetings,

I was reading up on the documentation about request_ids (see link below)

https://stripe.com/docs/api?lang=ruby#request_ids

However, I could not find a counter part the ruby gem for Stripe to obtain the request_id for the last request. The header does not appear to saved here:

https://github.com/stripe/stripe-ruby/blob/master/lib/stripe.rb#L264

I would like to use the request id to save in my own logs, so that I can route staff to the proper error faster.

How can I get the request id?

Regards,

Daniel Lo

Hey Daniel, thanks for logging this!

I'm a little hesitant to expose a #last_response type helper as seen in something like stripe/stripe-php#206 because as described in #313 it would be really nice to get this gem off of restclient and onto something a little more modern. Exposing a particular type of response object would go even further toward locking us into a particular HTTP client.

In the meantime (and forgive me if you've already seen this), StripeError does expose a #request_id accessor which is available anytime the API throws an error. It would of course be nice to be able to get a request ID at any time, but having one available in your logs during error cases is one of the concept's more valuable uses.

@danlo I'm going to close this out for now, but let me know if you have any further comments here. Thanks!
