Create bulk collections

POST /v2/collections/bulks

This endpoint allows to create up to 5000 collections with a single call. It acts exactly as if you called the POST /v2/collections endpoint 5000 times yourself, except you don't need to worry about rate limiting. It also allows you to get an aggregated state for this bulk.

This endpoint does not perform the collections synchronously, a 200 OK response means the bulk will be handled in the near future. You can either poll the GET endpoint or use the webhooks to follow its progress.

Note that the completion of a bulk does not mean all collections are settled, it only means the collections were initiated (the equivalent of a call to POST /v2/collections).
