I am playing with the Stripe API and creating “connected accounts” which is Stripe lingo for a sub-account of sorts. I noticed that the Stripe API from 2018-05-21 returns the test or live API keys after calling `stripe.Account.create()` depending on whether you used test or live keys when calling the method. If you set a live key on stripe.api_key you get live keys returned when calling `stripe.Account.create()`, etc. But the “keys” key on the returned JSON does not exist in the 2020-08-27 version of the API (perhaps earlier versions too). It appears that you should use the _platform’s_ keys for newly created connected accounts. And you should use your publishable keys, when necessary, for "connected accounts" created under the platform.
