Creating a service instance programmatically.

The examples below use curl but any language can be used as it's just REST calls.
All the APIs used in this tutorial are documented here: https://cloud.ibm.com/apidocs
Make sure you read the Resource Controller API: https://cloud.ibm.com/apidocs/resource-controller#create-provision-a-new-resource-instance
Information about apikeys and tokens can be found here: https://cloud.ibm.com/docs/iam?topic=iam-iamtoken_from_apikey
Watson Assistant is used as example below but it this steps can be applied to any service.

1. Create a platform apikey

In order to create/delete service instances programmatically a platform apikey needs to be used.
