The account ID

For every entity creation endpoint request, you are going to need the account id. To retrieve it, you can simply do a GET request to:
https://rest.smartvault.com/nodes/entity/SmartVault.Accounting.Firm?children=1

which will return something like the following object, where the "name" property or the last element of the "uri" indicates the account ID and the uri itself will be the first part of every entity creation request.
