There will be a req_xxx ID in the response headers for the failing request(s) – can you share one?

icy nimbus Jan 21, 2026, 9:35 AM

#

Do I check this in n8n?

#

Because in stripe, I don't see the errors there.

#

Here's a look of the http request:

drowsy niche Jan 21, 2026, 9:39 AM

#

Sorry, not familiar with n8n. There will be errors in the Stripe account logs you're attempting to make the request on: https://support.stripe.com/questions/finding-the-id-for-an-api-request

Finding the ID for an API Request : Stripe: Help & Support

Each API request has an associated request identifier, e.g. req_123456789. How do I find the ID for an API request? You can find a log of API requests…

icy nimbus Jan 21, 2026, 9:40 AM

#

No worries. N8n just make it easier to enter the parameters, headers and body. Just look at the image and see if those are correct.

#

I'll check your link.

#

This one: req_v2J921iq8ytsp72WX

I mean there's no actual values there, just variable names. Not sure what I'm supposed to derive from that but the request is clearly making it to the API. The error there implies that your platform doesn't have the permissions to view the balance for that account

There are actually values there. You can see it below, but anyways, please check the id that I've sent. Thanks.

drowsy niche Jan 21, 2026, 9:45 AM

#

I don't think that req_xxx ID maps to the request from the screenshot. It's for a different endpoint for starters: v2/core/accounts/acct_1S7Eo8Pqp7LhUWZ9

icy nimbus Jan 21, 2026, 9:46 AM

#

ah I was just testing requesting some other data.

#

That's one of the tests that I did

#

Let me check for more

drowsy niche Jan 21, 2026, 9:47 AM

#

Well the requests are returning different errors. I need to see the one you actually want help with

icy nimbus Jan 21, 2026, 9:49 AM

#

I tried running the balance_transactions request, but it did not show up in the logs. In the n8n, I only see this error: Forbidden - perhaps check your credentials?
You cannot directly access a connected account controlled by a single platform with an org-level API key if the platform is not in an organization.

#

I'll try a different api

drowsy niche Jan 21, 2026, 9:51 AM

#

Yeah I don't think this is supported today. You can't access a connected account via an org key today if the platform is not involved in the request

icy nimbus Jan 21, 2026, 9:52 AM

#

Is my thinking correct about org api keys?

#

I can use it to access api data for all accounts?

drowsy niche Jan 21, 2026, 9:53 AM

#

Yes, but not accounts which are controlled by a platform

icy nimbus Jan 21, 2026, 9:54 AM

#

This is where I'm confused. How do we know which account is the platform?

#

Because based on my understanding, if we know the platform_id, we can access the connected accounts via org api keys, right?

#

also, I made sure that I added all acount under the organization.

drowsy niche Jan 21, 2026, 9:56 AM

#

Can you at least give me an acct_xxx ID where this is failing? Flying blind here without a concrete example

icy nimbus Jan 21, 2026, 9:58 AM

#

acct_1S7ErRLzA5WdxT6u

#

Here's the org id: org_6U0yyZ7CSQQhh4eIqmnIAcq

drowsy niche Jan 21, 2026, 10:01 AM

#

I suspect it won't work on acct_1S7ErRLzA5WdxT6u as it was an account created by a Connect platform: acct_1PnPYnL7OgsfeTPW

icy nimbus Jan 21, 2026, 10:02 AM

#

How did you find the platform: acct_1PnPYnL7OgsfeTPW?

drowsy niche Jan 21, 2026, 10:02 AM

#

drowsy niche Yes, but not accounts which are controlled by a platform

Which is the 'controlling' aspect I spoke about

icy nimbus Jan 21, 2026, 10:03 AM

#

I've read this documentation in stripe api:
In the preceding code example, replace {{CONTEXT}} with the relevant value:

For the standalone account, use acct_1aTnTtAAB0hHJ26p.
For the connected account, use a path that identifies both the platform and the connected account, following the format acct_1R3fqDP6919yCiFv/acct_1032D82eZvKYlo2C.

drowsy niche Jan 21, 2026, 10:04 AM

#

icy nimbus How did you find the platform: acct_1PnPYnL7OgsfeTPW?

Internally, but you can probably find it via the Dashboard

icy nimbus Jan 21, 2026, 10:04 AM

#

How? I was going crazy finding it, but I couldn't. haha

#

Can you tell me which account is it/

drowsy niche Jan 21, 2026, 10:06 AM

#

The application/platform name is 'Booking Platform'. Can't really share any more details beyond that. I don't think it's an account of yours based on what I can see

icy nimbus Jan 21, 2026, 10:07 AM

#

Yes, it's my company's account. Okay, I don't see that account in the list?

drowsy niche Jan 21, 2026, 10:07 AM

#

What 'list'?

icy nimbus Jan 21, 2026, 10:08 AM

#

Here:

#

I don't find it there.

#

The booking platform

#

I believe If I can add that platform to the organization, then this will solve my problem

drowsy niche Jan 21, 2026, 10:10 AM

#

Then maybe you're not a user on the account? I don't know. Is the platform in the org?

icy nimbus Jan 21, 2026, 10:11 AM

#

No, it's not there. My boss gave me access to his stripe account, and it has the list, but it doesn't contain the booking platofrm account

drowsy niche Jan 21, 2026, 10:11 AM

Yes think so too based on this: https://docs.stripe.com/keys#use-organization-api-keys

API keys

Learn how to create, manage, and use API keys to authenticate requests to the Stripe API.

#

Organization (org_6SD3oI0eSQemPzdmaGLJ5j6)
  ├── Platform account  (acct_1R3fqDP6919yCiFv)
  |   └── Connected account (acct_1032D82eZvKYlo2C)
  └── Standalone account (acct_1aTnTtAAB0hHJ26p)

That's your example really. Except the platform seemingly isn't in the org so it's failing

icy nimbus Jan 21, 2026, 10:12 AM

#

Yes, you're right. Do you think the booking platform account is a separate stripe account?

drowsy niche Jan 21, 2026, 10:13 AM

#

drowsy niche I suspect it won't work on `acct_1S7ErRLzA5WdxT6u` as it was an account created ...

What do you mean by 'Stripe account'? It has it's own unique ID yes, I shared it above

icy nimbus Jan 21, 2026, 10:14 AM

#

I mean it's not in the login that I have.

#

In the account given to me, I can see all the list of accounts but not the booking platform account.

drowsy niche Jan 21, 2026, 10:15 AM

#

As I said, then that login isn't a user on the account

icy nimbus Jan 21, 2026, 10:16 AM

#

So that means, all connected accounts have a different login vs. the platform account

drowsy niche Jan 21, 2026, 10:16 AM

#

I think you're missing something conceptually. Accounts can have multiple users (each with a Stripe login). They're not accessible by just one email address/user

#

If you can't see an account in your accounts list, and you're signed in to Stripe as abc@xyz.123 then the Stripe user for that email address is not a user on the account

#

You need to figure out that part, I can't help with that. Hopefully once you do that and move the platform account into the org, that unblocks your API requests
