Submit a new client account application to Openmarkets and track it through to an active account.

Steps

1. Submit the application. POST /v1/accounts/submissions with the applicant details. The response carries the submission id you use for everything that follows.
2. Attach supporting documents. POST /v1/accounts/submissions/{id}/files for each identification or supporting file the application requires.
3. Track progress. GET /v1/accounts/submissions/{id} returns the current state of a single submission, and GET /v1/accounts/submissions returns a paginated list if you are reconciling many at once.
4. Read the resulting account. Once the submission completes, the account is available through the Account Management API at GET /v1/accounts/{accountNumber}.
