Stripe API to add account to my stripe platform?

Have been browsing all the documentations which stripe provided. There are API options like create customer object, creating charges, making tokens but unable to find stripe api to add a stripe account to platform's connected account. I can do the same via user interfaced dashboard but when comes to api, am circling around documentations without conclusions.

Is it possible to add existing independent stripe account to connected account of a stripe platform account?

Just to clarify to make sure we are all talking about the same thing:

  • The expressions "platform", "platform account" and "platform Stripe account" refer in the documentation to the highest form of account you can create and manage. These accounts are listed on the top left of your dashboard.
  • Stripe Connect is a Stripe product that lets you create Stripe accounts for your users (check Connect Overview to learn about the use cases). These accounts are named connected accounts and can be of three kinds: Standard Stripe account, Express Stripe account, Custom Stripe Account.

As far as I understand your question you are unable to find the documentation to create a Stripe account for one of your platform's connected accounts. Is that right ? Tell if I am wrong. I doubt that Stripe allows to create Stripe accounts for connected account (I am not even sure it would be useful). The thing you can do is to create a connected account that will be bound to your platform's Stripe account. To do so the first resources to check out are the following:
