How to get price for Stripe subscription product with volume pricing?

How do I get the price for a subscription product in Stripe where there is volume pricing? The Pricing API docs are here.

For example, in the Stripe dashboard I create a single subscription product priced at $10/month for the first 5 units, $5 thereafter. So if the user enters 5 into a numeric input on a webpage then I want to display $50. If the user enters 6, I want to display $30. I want the value from Stripe, not try and calculate it in the browser.

The Stripe docs on subscriptions don't seem to cover anything other than multiple tiered products, each with a fixed price.

When I create the subscription I can set the quantity, but I want to display the price before the user commits to buying.

Note: this question specifically relates to using the Stripe API and is not about getting the price by using a vendor product.

You can use the Upcoming Invoice API for this. In particular, you'd want to provide pricing & quantity with the subscription_items parameter to simulate a new subscription:

curl https://api.stripe.com/v1/invoices/upcoming \
  -u sk_test_123: \
  -d customer=cus_456 \
  -d 'subscription_items[0][price]=price_789' \
  -d 'subscription_items[0][quantity]=10'

If this is for a new customer, you'll need to create a Customer to use with the API, as the customer parameter is required. You can create a customer with just a description -- it's not necessary to collect personal details up front.
