Well the Dashboard doesn't necessarily directly map directly to public API fields – it has additional info/context that only it can access

What are you trying to do?

[meager sequoia]

My goal is to handle payouts manually, instead of using automatic payouts provided by Stripe.

According to this documentation, I should use the retrieve balance end-point to do so.

Oh, nevermind, I've been using the test SK. Works fine with live SK - although it's weird that I can query live data at all using test SK.

[dusty oyster]

Yeah it's a caveat with how Connect works depending on how the account is conncted to the platform

As acct_1Q1nYZEAItmXQ8O1 is only connected to your platform in live mode. I'd recommend establishing a test mode connection too and it'll work as you need

[meager sequoia]

I would like to have one more question about manual payouts though, regarding the holding period.

My current approach is listening to the balance.available to determine for how long can I hold onto the connected account's money.
However this doesn't trigger when the total balance changes (I assume it only triggers once the "available balance" changes?)

Is this safe, or should I instead listen to a different event?

[dusty oyster]

There is no better event really. You could instead use the related txn_xxx for each payment and look up that detail (corresponds to each transaction on the Stripe balance): https://docs.stripe.com/api/balance_transactions
