Hello 👋
We don't have an API to validate the keys themselves. Quick question, why do you need the API keys in the first place? Are you building an extension or something?

My app allows my customers to collect payments via their stripe accounts.

#

so they will enter their own API keys into my system

#

but they are human and without validation of the keys the testing of the keys comes down to creating a charge which isn't ideal

#

it would be helpful to send both keys and get back a confirmed true or false (or whatever) to let me know that the key pairs do match.

Just so that I'm on the same page, you're not using Stripe Connect.
You're just storing the API keys and making requests on their behalf?

yes

Interesting. We don't have an API endpoint to validate the keys unfortunately.
Also, if you haven't had a chance to look into Stripe connect yet then I would highly recommend checking it out
https://stripe.com/connect

This would allow you to build an integration where you don't need to request API keys from your users but still be able to run payments on their behalf

questions on the connect: 1). Would I have to obtain my customer's bank account numbers to forward money to them? 2). Who bares the risk when fraudulent charges or chargebacks occur? 3). Who has to initiate refunds and other tasks similar in nature?

1). Would I have to obtain my customer's bank account numbers to forward money to them?
Depending on the type of account you choose, Stripe can help you onboard the sellers.
We have pretty great docs on this
https://stripe.com/docs/connect/explore-connect-guide
https://stripe.com/docs/connect/accounts

2). Who bares the risk when fraudulent charges or chargebacks occur?
3). Who has to initiate refunds and other tasks similar in nature?
It depends on the type of account you are working with and the types of charges you create
https://stripe.com/docs/connect/charges

I'd recommend going through the above docs thoroughly as they pretty much have answers to all your questions
