stripe switch supports concise invocation and JSON output

Introduced 2026-09-17 · score 0.95

HOW TO USE IT

When a script needs machine-readable output while switching to an authorized Stripe account, run `stripe switch <account_id> --format json`; add `--live` to select live mode.

WHY THIS HELPS

Switch Stripe CLI context in a script that consumes machine-readable output.

BEFORE THIS CHANGE

Run `stripe switch context` to switch context; the source does not state whether JSON output was previously available.

REQUIREMENTS AND LIMITATIONS

• Version: v1.51.0
• account_id (required): Account to switch to; required with `--format json` because interactive selection is not scriptable.
• --format: Set to `json` for a stable JSON schema suitable for scripting.
• --live: Select live mode for the specified account.
• Prerequisite: The target account must be authorized.
• `stripe switch context` remains available but hidden.
