Stripe V2


Stripe’s API got a new major version, and no one noticed.

I thought this must’ve been a soft launch right before the holidays, surely to be followed up by a more formal blog post, but the Way Back Machine clocked the page in early October, making it three months old. I admit it’s pedantic, but it’s so absolutely trivial to implement, and the use of a good verb signals more information than a reader would otherwise have with a cursory glance at API structure. There was a time not too long ago when Stripe cutting a new API version would’ve been a major event in the tech world, but in three months I didn’t come across a single person who mentioned it.
