generated from the schema

The name needs at least three characters.

It does not accept status, images, tags, additional contacts or location: decorating the project is up to the application. The customer and the project type are checked against the account of the API key before creating anything. Returns the full project, the same projection as its GET.

Arguments

namestringRequired

Project name. At least three characters, as the domain requires.

Limits: min length 3, max length 200

startDatestring<date-time>Required

Project start (ISO 8601 with offset).

endDatestring<date-time>Required

Project end (ISO 8601 with offset). It cannot be earlier than startDate; the same instant is a one-day project.

contactIdstring

Project customer. It must belong to the account of the API key.

Limits: min length 1, max length 100

projectTypeIdstring

Project type. Resolve it against /api/v1/project-types; it must belong to the account of the API key.

Limits: min length 1, max length 100

externalReferencestring

Free-form reference to match the project with an external system.

Limits: max length 200

locationobject

Physical location of the project (a stage, a client site). Only the fields sent are recorded.

Show child attributes

location.namestring

Name of the place, for example "Main stage".

Limits: max length 200

location.addressstring

Street address.

Limits: max length 500

location.citystring

City.

Limits: max length 200

location.postalCodestring

Postal code.

Limits: max length 20

location.provincestring

Province or region.

Limits: max length 200

location.countrystring

Limits: max length 200

location.latnumber

Latitude in decimal degrees.

Limits: min -90, max 90

location.lngnumber

Longitude in decimal degrees.

Limits: min -180, max 180

idempotencyKeystring

Idempotency key chosen by the client (a UUID is recommended). Repeating the same key with the same arguments within 24 h returns the stored response without executing again; with different arguments it responds 422. It is the safe way to retry after a network failure.

Limits: min length 1, max length 255

ifMatchstring

Optimistic locking: the meta.etag you got from the detail read of this resource (or "*"). If the resource changed since, the call fails with 412 precondition_failed before writing anything; read it again and retry. Omit it to write unconditionally.

Limits: min length 1
