Retrieve all products with same metadata value in Stripe

Question

In Stripe (using Next.js and Node.js), I'm trying to retrieve all products with the same key-value pair in their metadata:

example: retrieve all products with metadata: {category: 'foo'}

In attempts to render category-specific pages, I don't want to list and parse through my whole catalog but I also know that products can only be retrieved through id (docs), inferring that I would have to:

list all products 
for all products:
  if metadata matches, 
    add id to array
for id array:
  retrieve each

This is brute forcing though, and not a good idea.

What would be the best way to retrieve conditionally based on metadata?

Any help is appreciated.
