POST /cra/check_report/create

/cra/check_report/create creates a Consumer Report powered by Plaid Check. You can call this endpoint to create a new report if consumer_report_permissible_purpose was omitted during Link token creation. If you did provide a consumer_report_permissible_purpose during Link token creation, then Plaid Check will automatically begin creating a Consumer Report once the user completes the Link process, and it is not necessary to call /cra/check_report/create before retrieving the report.

/cra/check_report/create can also be used 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. Note that refreshing or regenerating a report is a billable event.
