So I have spent the last two days looking around on stackoverflow and also the stripe API and I can't seem to find out how to get the banking ID when I add a new bank account for a worker. The account gets added to stripe, but it never seems to return me a bank id token, the ba_****.

Here is my code to add the bank account:

First method I tried:

 $bank_account_token = mysqli_real_escape_string($link, $_POST['token']);



 $account = StripeAccount::retrieve($worker_token);

$account->external_accounts->create(["external_account" => 

$bank_account_token]);

$bank_id = $account->external_account->id;

This is the second method I tried:

$account = StripeAccount::retrieve($worker_token);

  $account->external_accounts->create(array(

    "external_account" => array(

    "object" => "bank_account",

    "account_number" => $account_number,

    "routing_number" => $routing_number,

    "country" => "US",

    "currency" => "USD",)

  ));

$bank_id = $account->external_account->id;

I have also tried these various other methods to try and capture the bank id after it has been input into stripe and none of them return an id.

$bank_id = $account->bank_account->id;

$bank_id = $account->bank_account->external_account->id;

$bank_id = $account->external_accounts->bank_account->id;

This is the response that stripe says I should get when I add a new bank account:

com.stripe.model.BankAccount JSON: {

"id": "ba_1DVFGuC7941OKJKEoBwDlmHc",

"object": "bank_account",

"account_holder_name": null,

"account_holder_type": null,

"bank_name": "STRIPE TEST BANK",

"country": "US",

"currency": "usd",

"fingerprint": "bGA06pJMr6Vwreh6",

"last4": "6789",

"metadata": {

},

"routing_number": "110000000",

"status": "new",

"account": "acct_1BS4bBC7941OKJKE"

}

Okay so after further digging and reaching out to stripe (waiting on their email replies) I have figured out that their documentation is outdated in some sections. The correct response is:

 "external_accounts": {

"object": "list",

"data": [

  {

    "id": "ba_1DVFGuC7941OKJKEoBwDlmHc",

    "object": "bank_account",

    "account": "acct_2BS4cCb7841ONDLK",

    "account_holder_name": null,

    "account_holder_type": null,

    "bank_name": "STRIPE TEST BANK",

    "country": "US",

    "currency": "usd",

    "default_for_currency": true,

    "fingerprint": "bGA06pJMr6Vwreh6",

    "last4": "6789",

    "metadata": {

    },

    "routing_number": "110000000",

    "status": "new"

  }

],

So to pull the first element (which is the id) I needed to pull it for an array:

  $account = StripeAccount::retrieve($worker_token);

  $account->external_accounts->create(["external_account" => $bank_account_token]);

  $bank_id = $account->external_accounts->data[0]->id;
