Refresh or create a Consumer Report
Use /cra/check_report/create to refresh data in an existing report. A Consumer Report will last for 24 hours before expiring; you should call any /get endpoints on the report before it expires. If a report expires, you can call /cra/check_report/create again to re-generate it and refresh the data in the report.
