Possibility to instrument API calls with Micrometer or OpenTelemetry

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

It would be great to be able to add instrumentation for all API calls using Micrometer or OpenTelemetry.

Describe alternatives you've considered

To work around this limitation, we currently wrap the stripe-java library and manually instrument the requests.

I've been looking into the same thing recently.

If you're using the OpenTelemetry Java Agent, the HttpURLConnection used by the Stripe client should be auto-instrumented and you should be able to at least see the low-level request/response pairs to the Stripe API.

Other than that, you have to implement your own com.stripe.net.HttpClient and instrument that manually (or use an instrumented low-level HTTP client) for the time being as you apparently did.

FWIW, here's a list of HTTP client libraries supported by the OpenTelemetry auto-instrumentation:
