Stripeek: A proxy and a TUI to monitor and examine Stripe API traffic in real time from the terminal when developing complex billing

Terminal User Interface

I do a lot of complex Stripe billing work and wanted to actually see what the Stripe SDKs send over the wire and dig through payloads, so I built a TUI for it.

stripeek is a local proxy that logs all Stripe API activity on the fly and renders it in a terminal UI built for navigating deeply nested request/response payloads, the kind that are painful to read anywhere else. It never stores your keys and strips sensitive data from headers. Setup is a one-line change to your Stripe initializer in dev; nothing else in your backend changes.

Not a replacement for the Stripe Dashboard, but a faster way to make sense of the traffic while you're debugging a feature you're implementing.
