## What you will build

Connect a test user through TrueLayer's authorization flow and retrieve their Mock Bank account list.

## 1. Before you start

Create a Sandbox app in TrueLayer Console and register a redirect URI.

## 2. Try the task

Complete the browser flow with the documented Mock Bank credentials.

Read the account list:

Inspect the `results` array and keep each `account_id` with its display name and currency.

## 3. Check the result

Compare the returned accounts with the selected Mock Bank user.

## 4. Troubleshooting

- The redirect URI must match Console exactly.
- Use Sandbox authentication and API hosts consistently.
- Scope values in an authorization URL need URL encoding.
- An expired or reused authorization code needs a fresh flow; changing the account endpoint will not fix it.

## 5. Try it on your task

Try a second Mock Bank user and verify the account lists do not leak across sessions.

Build the output around the question your application needs to answer.

Keep test data and real customer data separate in your run notes.
