Send an attempt at the DLT test

Authorizations

Authorization
string
header
required

OAuth 2.0 client credentials. Exchange the client id and secret Securitize issued you for a bearer token at the token URL (the host root, not under the base URL), with grant_type=client_credentials; the token lasts 2 hours and goes in the Authorization: Bearer header of every request. No scope is needed. The token identifies your partner account, so you never send a partner id, and every record you create is scoped to you.

string
required

The investorId Securitize returned when you created the investor. Not your externalInvestorId.
