Hi, let me help you with this.

#

Depending on what data you want to display, you can use API to get individual objects, e.g. PaymentIntents, and calculate it yourself.

Hi !

#

I need mainly starting balance and ending balance (for a given month)

south kindle Jul 16, 2024, 8:54 AM

#

Oh, I understand. I would suggest calling this endpoint on your side at the start of the month and saving the data, to display to the user later: https://docs.stripe.com/api/balance/balance_retrieve

#

In short, Stripe doesn't make report data available via API, so you will need to construct it yourself.

#

oh, so i would have to call it for each of my accounts connect, at the 1st at 00:00 ?

#

does Stripe think about make this data available ?

Yes, that's one workaround idea. You could alternatively sum all the pay ins and payouts to find the balance at a given time, but this seems more difficult.

I am not aware of such plans

south trail Jul 16, 2024, 8:59 AM

#

ok, or i could download the csv file and parse it

south kindle Jul 16, 2024, 8:59 AM

#

Yeah, that's another option

south trail Jul 16, 2024, 8:59 AM

#

are the monthly balance reports generated automatically or have i to create it ?

#

👋 taking over for my colleague. Let me catch up.

#

you can, schedule the reports to run automatically or you can run them whenever you want, using report_runs

ok ! when i create a report a report run, how many times it takes to achieve ? am i obliged to use webhooks or can i just wait in my script ?

rose lodge Jul 16, 2024, 9:07 AM

#

it's recommended to use webhooks because it's async

#

and if you await in your code this means that you're blocking your server and potentially even timeouting
