Hello 👋

#

I have a question related to this header key name for a connected accounts on Stripe API, https://stripe.com/docs/api/connected_accounts. My question is: What is the difference between sending "Stripe-Account versus "stripeAccount" on the header key name?

#

Stripe-Account is the actual name of the HTTP header that is sent

#

stripeAccount is the parameter name for some of our API libraries

#

So for example in node.js your code would look like this stripe.charges.retrieve('ch_1JGSdIJmquaq3Lbpu9p62qk5', { stripeAccount: 'acct_123456789' });
And the stripe-node library would translate that in to the header
Stripe-Account: acct_123456789
before sending it off to our servers

#

Does that help clarify?

that means, if I use "stripeAccount" or "Stripe-Account" on the header key names, I should get the same results, shouldn't I?

I think @quick lotus means the header parameter is always Stripe-Account. Some library calls use stripeAccount as a parameter - but the library then uses that value to set the Stripe-Account in the actual header.
