👋 happy to help

external_bank_accounts and accounts are 2 different entities

alpine sundial
#

Right, so the external_accounts object in the Account response will eventually be consistent, then. And not as soon as POST to external_account_bank_accounts API has returned?

I'm not sure if there's a delay or not, but usually it shouldn't take long to populate this

alpine sundial
#

The reason I'm asking is because when one adds a new Connect account, it has account requirements. And one of the requirements is requirements.external_account.
Then I submit the external account through the POST to external_account_bank_account, and want to check if there are still requirements due.

Currently I do it by calling GET account, after the POST to external_account_bank_account responds. But if there is no consistency guarantee, I might need to add polling/retries or do this different somehow

I think it should be fine, since object lock happens whenever we need to update multiple objects

alpine sundial
#

Thanks 😄 What is object lock? Does it mean the GET Account waits until the objects are updated before giving the response, or does it return the 'old' version?

pallid bramble
#

if the update process isn't finished yet and the account object is still locked the GET Account will fail

#

so you should be fine either way

#

if the GET succeeds normally you should get the list of external accounts

#

if not you should be able to retry the request with a different idempotency key

#

I'm using the Node SDK and it seems these kinds of errors are auto-retried for it. So I should be good then I think

#

Thanks for the detailed response!
