Hello 👋
Oauth and Stripe Apps both allow you to connect to a Stripe account and analyse the data.
Since you're not really creating charges for these accounts, I'd say Stripe Apps would be a better fit for you.
Have you referred to the docs yet?
https://stripe.com/docs/stripe-apps
These are quite comprehensive and should provide indepth information

Yep, I've taken a look. That makes sense.
Would a user that installed my app just be treated as a "connected account" then?
winter portal
Yup
naive wren
In that instance, can i view (my app)->connected_account->connected_accounts data?
winter portal
Hmm I'm not really sure about that part. Additionally, Stripe Apps only get webhook_read permission (you'd need *_write to modify things)
https://stripe.com/docs/stripe-apps/reference/permissions#:~:text=to user emails-,Webhook,-webhook_read
So you may have to go the other route 😦
naive wren
Understood
That'll be enough for future data, ie they can set the webhook
But to get historic, can I set "connected_account_id" of the connect account, connected accounts
( think im a platform for platforms)
winter portal
In the doc I shared above, there's a permission for connected_account_read so I believe that should be possible 🤔
let me double check
naive wren
That would list them, but I want to know if I can query (as) them. I "get payments" for the platforms end users
I know I can always do it by getting them to provide me APIs keys but that icky.

Ah hmm I don't think that would be possible! let me double check with a colleague.
naive wren
appreciate it 🔥

yeah talked to a colleague, I don't think you'd be able to access connected account data in this case
