POST /item/public_token/create

Note: As of July 2020, the /item/public_token/create endpoint is deprecated. Instead, use /link/token/create with an access_token to create a Link token for use with update mode.

If you need your user to take action to restore or resolve an error associated with an Item, generate a public token with the /item/public_token/create endpoint and then initialize Link with that public_token.

A public_token is one-time use and expires after 30 minutes. You use a public_token to initialize Link in update mode for a particular Item. You can generate a public_token for an Item even if you did not use Link to create the Item originally.

The /item/public_token/create endpoint is not used to create your initial public_token. If you have not already received an access_token for a specific Item, use Link to obtain your public_token instead. See the Quickstart for more information.
