Create a lti resource

In order to create an exam which has an LTI Connection through the API, you’ll need to go through these steps:

1. Create an exam
2. Create a tool provider, which specifies your external platform, linked to your Institute. You can create the tool provider via the API or once, using the web interface, in which case you should fetch the tool_providers with the API in order to know its id.
3. Create an LTI resource with the exam_id of the exam you want to connect and the tool_provider_id of the external platform you created in step 2. The LTI resource you create here should match one of the resources you have created on your external platform.
4. Finally, create the exam instructions using the /documents API, by inserting the placeholder that was returned in step 3 into the instructions (exam_content field)
