Hi, there is no way to make a bulk request. You'd use a cron job for it.

I'm planning on using a cron job, but in that job/task, I need to find which balances need to be paid out.

[mighty sierra]

I see, let me pull our API

You'd look at available balance: https://stripe.com/docs/api/balance/balance_object?event_types-payment_intent.payment_failed#balance_object-available

[jade haven]

Yes, I'm aware of that.
If you look at my original question, I'm looking to do that in bulk, i.e I provide a list of accounts and retrieve all of their balances.

[mighty sierra]

You cannot make a bulk request and pass all of the account ids.

Interesting. Is there a suggested method for handling manual payouts?

Based on not being able to do bulk queries like that, I'm sure Stripe has an intended/suggested flow.

[mighty sierra]

You could listen to this webhook event, https://stripe.com/docs/api/events/types#event_types-balance.available and look at the available balance. Then, have a logic to trigger payouts that way

[jade haven]

Interesting. How would I tie those balance objects to specific orders or payment intents?

[mighty sierra]

I was able to confirm that you would not, that just shows you the available balance.

You would need to use balance transactions for that: https://stripe.com/docs/api/balance_transactions/list

Gotcha, thanks for the info!
