Error: Only live keys can access this method

Question

I am trying to take a reference of bank account token with createExternalAcccount method using stripe with node.js by using stripe test account. I get error like "Error: Only live keys can access this method."

stripe.accounts.createExternalAccount(
  'acct_**************Wu',
  {external_account: 'btok_**********************pw'},function(err,account){
    if (err) throw err;
    console.log(account);
  }
);

If you want to use a real account for real transactions, you'll need to use your live mode keys (you're currently using your test mode keys).

If you want to test bank account (ACH) transactions in test mode, you should see this guide.
