Simulate a card balance inquiry
Simulate a balance-inquiry authorization against a card in the sandbox environment. A balance inquiry is always a 0-amount authorization, so the request carries no amount — only the merchant. Drives the same internal paths the card issuer would call in production. The resulting card operation is delivered asynchronously via the issuer’s events webhook.
Production returns 404 on this path.
Authorizations
API token authentication using format <api token id>:<api client secret>

Body
Sandbox-only request body for POST /sandbox/cards/{id}/simulate/balance_inquiry. Drives a balance-inquiry authorization against the card. A balance inquiry is always a 0-amount authorization, so it carries no amount.

Response body for the sandbox card-event simulators. The simulate call pokes the card issuer's sandbox; the resulting card operation is delivered asynchronously via the issuer's events webhook, never synchronously in this response.
The card issuer's transaction token for the simulated event. Correlates the eventual webhook-delivered card operation back to this simulate call.
