Creating

You can make a POST request to accounts edge from the following paths:

• /{application_id}/accounts

When posting to this edge, a TestAccount will be created.

Upon successful creation, a login_url and access_token will be returned. You can use the login URL to log in as the test user. Login URLs expire once they are used, or after one hour if they are unused. An access token will only be returned if the installed parameter was set to true at the time of the query.

You can also use this edge to associate an existing test user with a different app by using the owner_acces_token parameter.
