Create a data source group

Purpose

Data sources are organized in groups. Create a group first, then add sources to it with create data source.

Request

POST <API_BASE_URL>/source/group/create. All calls are POST under your API address. Replace <API_BASE_URL> with the API address provided with your access.

Send a permanent API token in the token field of the body, or a user token in the token header. See authentication.

Content type: application/json.

Field	Type	Required	Description
`token`	string (uuid)	if no header	Your permanent API token. Required unless you send a user token in the `token` header.
`name`	string	yes	The name of the new group.

Response

HTTP 201. The group was created.

Field	Type	Description
`status`	string	Always `ok` on this body.
`group_id`	string (uuid)	The identifier of the group just created.

Errors

400: The body failed validation. The answer has status of error and a details list with one entry per offending field (path, expected, actual).
401: The token is missing, expired or unknown.

A refusal can also come before the operation runs: an address outside your IP allowlist, a token bound to another address, or a body that is not valid JSON. See response format and errors.

    "token": "<your permanent API token>",

  }'

{
  "status": "ok",
  "group_id": "<group id>"
}
