What is a hdAccountId

A hdAccountId serves as a unique identifier within a key management system. This ID is central in managing multiple Distributed Ledger Technology (DLT) accounts under a single unified account. Through your Quant Connect Application you are able to create a hdAccountId with one of the service providers which will then allow you to generate 'assets' for your desired DLT.

• Generate a Bearer Token You must generate an authentication token in order to use the Overledger APIs.
