Answer 1

Since you specified that

The documentation only indicate to search by created, ending_before, limit and starting_after, but no "email".

You are right, you can't search using emails.

If you still wish to do that, What you can do instead is to get a list of all the customer and filter on the response you get using email.

For Example, in ruby you can do it as follows:

customers = Stripe::Customer.all

customer_i_need = customers.select do |c|
  c.email == "foo@bar.com"
end

PS: Stripe can have multiple customers associated with one email address.
