Create a test Item and processor token

Use the /sandbox/processor_token/create endpoint to create a valid processor_token for an arbitrary institution ID and test credentials. The created processor_token corresponds to a new Sandbox Item. You can then use this processor_token with the /processor/ API endpoints in Sandbox. You can also use /sandbox/processor_token/create with the user_custom test username to generate a test account with custom data.
