Sorry I couldnt add all the details due to text's length limit on the form
dire vale
hey there ๐ is there a specific value (i.e. an account ID) that you expected to be returned by your Search API call?
also could you share the request ID (req_123) for the Search call?
no worries!
dire vale
sorry I was a bit unclear, I meant to ask if you could share the account ID that you expected to be returned, so we can double check the details on our side
worn tundra
the problem isn't that it returns wrong or doesnt return at all, it says the search api isn't even available so you mean my account id not the connected user;s id right?
acct_1NgfRHG6b521Lrze
this is my account id
dire vale
what if you search the email in your dashboard - do you see a connected account then?
(I'm not suggesting this as a solution, I just want to understand if you actually have a connected account with that email - then we can work on an API-based solution)
dire vale
perfect, thanks
worn tundra
dire vale
that looks like you only have a customer profile associated with that email, rather than a connected account
so if you called List Customers with an email param, the object would be returned:

I still face the same issue for this email as well..

๐ Hi there! I'm taking over for my colleague. Let me take a look
worn tundra
Sure Arran..
welcome to the thread
do you get the problem? or can i help you in any ways to understand it better?
please reply, i will eat.. i will join you
steady wave
Yeah, no worries
Thanks for sharing the request/response. Despite the confusing error message, the issue here is that we don't have a /v1/accounts/search endpoint
You would need to use the list endpoint for connected accounts, and then check whether the email attribute matches: https://docs.stripe.com/api/accounts/list
worn tundra
can you provide a curl command i am afraid i tried this
curl -G https://api.stripe.com/v1/accounts/list \ ๎ถ โ โโโ

Sure, the documentation provides curl examples: curl -G https://api.stripe.com/v1/accounts -u "sk_test_โฆ:"
worn tundra
but then how do i filter it by email?
curl -G https://api.stripe.com/v1/accounts \ ๎ถ โ โโโ

"type": "invalid_request_error"
}
}
this is what i get when trying to filter, which i had tried before as well..
going through each accounts and checking email (lets say i have 10000 users, i will have to go 100 times) and increasingly so, So the paginated user list isnt a solution for us

I think i found the solution for me
steady wave
We do have an internal feature request to have a search API for accounts that could let you search directly by email, for example. I've added your use case to this as being interested
steady wave
```
curl -G https://api.stripe.com/v1/customers/search \ ...
OK. Though I'd note that this is searching for Customers rather than Connected Accounts, as Glo mentioned earlier
worn tundra
yeah sorry..
it doesnt solve..
i want to search connected accounts just like this..
we do not have 10000 users as of now, but ride sharing drivers will have connect account to accumulate their money in wallet..
and we want to make sure no two drivers use same email to signup
steady wave
Understood. The best solution we have at the moment is the List Connected Accounts API, if you have no way of storing emails in your own database
worn tundra
can you help me create a request with the parameters i provided? i am lil confused here..
steady wave
You would list the connected accounts, and check the email parameter of each result
worn tundra
how do i filter? or do i have to filter in clientside?
worn tundra
isn't that a turn off? or its designed in that way? can i know the reason?
worn tundra
Well server-side, where you're running this query
yeah but thats clientside from the perspective of stripe server.
the fact that we have to O(n) through the list of accounts to check email doesn't seem like a right solution to me..
Can i now the reason stripe doesn't provide that api for connected accounts but provides for customers?
steady wave
I couldn't tell you why there hasn't been an API for this built so far, but it's a known feature request
I can only guess, but I imagine that many platforms manage and authenticate users by storing information in their own database
steady wave
No idea, sorry
worn tundra
sure arran.. thanks for your time
steady wave
You're welcome. We'll be here if you have any other questions!
