create_account_and_api_key.rb

# Creates new account and create API key for that account
#
# The script creates a new account using the createCustomerAccount() method,
# then the script will create the API key for that account, in order to achieve
# that goal it is necessary to make soap request because in oder to create
# the API key we need to call the method addApiAuthenticationKey() using the
# the credentials of the new account as we do not have that information we are
# calling the method using impersonation.
# For perform the impersonation we need the userId and the token for the authentication.
# For more details please see below.

This is a soap example to create the API key to the account.
It will create the API key for the master account of the new account.
In case the master account already has an API key the request will return an error.
Please replace the values $TOKEN and $USERID
