How to get next invoice date?

I'm wondering if, for recurring payments, there is an optimal way of getting the next invoice date? We're using the hashrocket's mousetrap gem for our calls, and the best way I can see to get the next invoice is through the following convoluted method.

customer = Mousetrap::Customer[...]  # looks like this is calling "/customers/CUSTOMERCODE"
subscription = customer.subscription
next_invoice = subscription.invoices['invoice'].delete_if { |invoice| !invoice["paidTransactionId"].nil? }.first

So essentially, it looks like the chain is: customer -> subscription -> invoices -> invoice -> find the only invoice with the null paidTransactionId.

If there is a better way of getting the same information, I'd love to know! Also, if this is correct, can I assume that there will there always be an invoice with an empty paidTransactionId for recurring payments?

    Hi Matt!

    That does seem quite convoluted... but it appears to be a valid way to get it.

    Yes, there will always be one invoice with an empty paidTransactionId.
