--- title: "Create an Account Session" method: POST path: "/v1/account_sessions" --- # Create an Account Session `POST /v1/account_sessions` Creates a AccountSession object that includes a single-use token that the platform can use on their front-end to grant client-side API access. ## Response `200` Successful response. - AccountSession — An AccountSession allows a Connect platform to grant access to a connected account in Connect embedded components. We recommend that you create an AccountSession each time you need to display an embedded component to your user. Do not save AccountSessions to your database as they expire relatively quickly, and cannot be used more than once. Related guide: [Connect embedded components](https://docs.stripe.com/connect/get-started-connect-embedded-components) - `account` string, required — The ID of the account the AccountSession was created for - `client_secret` string, required — The client secret of this AccountSession. Used on the client to set up secure access to the given `account`. The client secret can be used to provide access to `account` from your frontend. It should not be stored, logged, or exposed to anyone other than the connected account. Make sure that you have TLS enabled on any page that includes the client secret. Refer to our docs to [setup Connect embedded components](https://docs.stripe.com/connect/get-started-connect-embedded-components) and learn about how `client_secret` should be handled. - `components` ConnectEmbeddedAccountSessionCreateComponents, required - `account_management` ConnectEmbeddedAccountConfigClaim, required - `enabled` boolean, required — Whether the embedded component is enabled. - `features` ConnectEmbeddedAccountFeaturesClaim, required - `disable_stripe_user_authentication` boolean, required — Whether Stripe user authentication is disabled.
