Posting Arrays in Form

[pon]

I am attempting to consume an API and am unable to make the following request:

curl https://api.stripe.com/v1/customers/{id}/bank_accounts/{id}/verify \
   -d amounts[]=14 \
   -d amounts[]=26

The below code doesn't work because having two keys of the same name the second overwrites the first. Is this type of request supported here?

request({
  method: 'POST',
  url: '...',
  form: {
    'amounts[]': 14,
    'amounts[]': 26
  }
})

Since form in your example is a regular javascript object, you can't have two of the same key. Instead you should make amounts itself an array, like:

request({
  method: 'POST',
  url: '...',
  form: {
    'amounts': [14, 26]
  }
})

That will make amounts[0]=41&amounts[1]=26. If you need amounts[]=41&amounts[]=26, then use qsStringifyOptions like so:

request({
  method: 'POST',
  url: '...',
  form: {
    'amounts': [14, 26]
  },
  qsStringifyOptions: { arrayFormat: 'brackets' }
})

Thanks! I misread the documentation - I thought that only applied to the query string
