You need to make requests via your backend to that endpoint: https://github.com/stripe/stripe-apps/issues/580#issuecomment-1129455046

Can I call this API even when the account is not connected to our own account?

jade field Jan 23, 2023, 11:36 AM

#

Nope, it'll error

outer briar Jan 23, 2023, 11:36 AM

#

Sorry if that's a dumb question. These accounts will be some users that in theory might want to try our app. I thought our backend won't be able to get information about that account unless they are already connected

#

What is the suggested flow then? Connect and then check if the account has everything turned on?

jade field Jan 23, 2023, 11:37 AM

#

Well, if they've installed your Stripe App then at that point there'll be a 'connection' between their Stripe account and the publishing account

#

Oh, and then I can call this endpoint to get their data without errors?

jade field Jan 23, 2023, 11:38 AM

#

Just make sure your app has sufficient object permissions to access the data: https://stripe.com/docs/stripe-apps/reference/permissions#object

Permissions reference

A list of available events and their required permissions.

#

Perfect! That's even better 😄

#

Which token should be used on the backend to call this API then?

#

Sorry one last question 😅

jade field Jan 23, 2023, 11:45 AM

#

The secret key of the account that owns the app

Ahh, makes sense
