Retrieve a multiple stripe charges in php - php

Question

I just want to know if there is way to retrieve charges with multiples charges_id in stripe.
For example in the docs show how to get one charge. But we need get multiple charges. So, we don't want to made a multiple calls to the stripe method retrieve, this is to slow. We dont want to make this:
foreach ($result as $p_key => $payment) {
$charge = $this->CI->stripe_lib->retrieve_charge('ch_......', 'secret_key');
if (isset($charge['charge'])) {
$amount_charged = (float)$charge['charge']->amount / 100;
// echo "<pre>";
// print_r($amount_charged );
// echo "</pre>";
}
}
this is in Codeigniter. And this is the function on the library:
public function retrieve_charge($charge_id, $secret_key) {
$errors = array();
try {
\Stripe\Stripe::setApiKey($secret_key);
$charge = \Stripe\Charge::retrieve($charge_id);
return array('charge' => $charge);
} catch(Stripe_CardError $e) {
$errors = array('error' => false, 'message' => 'Card was declined.', 'e' => $e);
} catch (Stripe_InvalidRequestError $e) {
$errors = array('error' => false, 'message' => 'Invalid parameters were supplied to Stripe\'s API', 'e' => $e);
} catch (Stripe_AuthenticationError $e) {
$errors = array('error' => false, 'message' => 'Authentication with Stripe\'s API failed!', 'e' => $e);
} catch (Stripe_ApiConnectionError $e) {
$errors = array('error' => false, 'message' => 'Network communication with Stripe failed', 'e' => $e);
} catch (Stripe_Error $e) {
$errors = array('error' => false, 'message' => 'Stripe error. Something wrong just happened!', 'e' => $e);
} catch (Exception $e) {
if (isset($e->jsonBody['error']['type']) && $e->jsonBody['error']['type'] == 'idempotency_error') {
$errors = array('error' => false, 'message' => $e->getMessage(), 'e' => $e, 'type' => 'idempotency_error');
} else {
$errors = array('error' => false, 'message' => 'An error has occurred getting customer info.', 'e' => $e);
}
}
return $errors;
}
With this code: \Stripe\Charge::all(["limit" => 3]); returns all charge but in the docs I didn't see if this method returns me also a multiple charges id.
I appreciate all your help.
Thanks and I'm sorry for my english.

Thanks for your question. It seems you have already identified the right method to retrieve multiple charges using the PHP library!
You are correct in that \Stripe\Charge::all(["limit" => 3]) call [0] will return you multiple charges, up to the limit specified in the arguments [1].
In the response to the above request, you will receive an array of charge objects [2], each having an id field [3] that would be the charge ID.
Hope that helps! Please let me know if you have any questions.
Cheers,
Heath
