+## POST /api/v1/accounts
+
+Returns [Token]({{< relref "entities.md#token" >}})
+
+The method is available to apps with a token obtained via the client credentials grant. It creates a user and account records, as well as an access token for the app that initiated the request. The user is unconfirmed, and an e-mail is sent as usual.
+
+The method returns the access token, which the app should save for later. The REST API is not available to users with unconfirmed accounts, so the app must be smart to wait for the user to click a link in their e-mail inbox.
+
+The method is rate-limited by IP to 5 requests per 30 minutes.
