Is it possible to limit Stripe Charges by metadata?

I have a paginated charge list like this:

stripelist = Stripe::Charge.list({limit: 100})

stripelist.each do |payment|
    if payment["metadata"]["ss_registration"]
        striperecords << payment if pendingrecs.include? payment.metadata.portal_payment_id
    end
end

while stripelist.has_more do 
    stripelist = Stripe::Charge.list({limit: 100, starting_after: stripelist.data.last.id})
    stripelist.each do |payment|
        if payment["metadata"]["ss_registration"]
            striperecords << payment if pendingrecs.include? payment.metadata.portal_payment_id
        end
    end
end

The problem is that I have to pull all charges and then filter the results in Ruby, which costs processing time. Is there a way to filter by metadata?... to do something like this at the start:

stripelist = Stripe::Charge.list({limit: 100}, metadata: '{ss_registration}')

Unfortunately you can't list Charges by their metadata. Right now the only parameters that you can list Charges by are listed here: https://stripe.com/docs/api/charges/list?lang=ruby

But, your code could be simplified a bit by using Stripe's auto-pagination functionality; described here: https://stripe.com/docs/api/pagination/auto?lang=ruby.

With auto-pagination, your code could boil down to something like:

charges = Stripe::Charge.list({ limit: 100 })

charges.auto_paging_each do |charge|
  if charge["metadata"]["ss_registration"]
    striperecords << charge if pendingrecs.include? charge.metadata.portal_payment_id
  end
end
