Parameters

Path parameters

None

Query string parameter

Path parameter	Required / Optional	Description	Type
expand	Optional	A comma-separated list of attributes available for expansion. The comma-separated list may include spaces (or %20 in the URL encoded string). Note: The expand value must contain only attributes referencing a supported object type. If return_object is set to any value other than 0 (zero), and the comma-separated list includes at least one attribute that is not available for expansion, the request fails — an error is returned and the object is not added or updated. For more information about attributes available for expansion and supported object types, see Available Expansions and Supported Object Types.	string
fields	Optional	A comma-separated list of attributes to include in the response. If not specified, the response includes all attributes for the project returned.	string
filterSetId	Optional	The internal ID of the filter set to be applied. When specified, the request is successful only if the action is available when the specified filter set is active in OpenAir. The filter set with the specified internal ID must exist and must be associated with the user who authorized the application as per the access token. Otherwise and by default, the primary filter set associated with the user who authorized the application is applied.	integer
return_object	Optional	If set to any value other than 0 (zero), the response will return the project created. Otherwise, the response will include only the internal ID of the project created.	Boolean

Request body

The Project objects to be created. Each object must include valid key-value pairs for all required attributes and cannot include key-value pairs for read-only attributes. For information about the Project object model, see Project object properties.
