Create project

Creates a NovaAI project that owns API keys, usage, limits, and developer resources.

POST

https://api.novaai.com/v1/projects

Authentication

Send a project-scoped NovaAI API key in the Authorization header using the Bearer scheme. Requests without valid credentials return 401 Unauthorized.

Authorization

required

Request properties

name

string

Human-readable project name.

environment

Optional environment label such as development or production.

metadata

object

optional

Application-defined project metadata.

Response behavior

A successful POST request returns a structured NovaAI resource response. Validate the returned identifier before persisting it, and handle 400 Bad Request for malformed input or 401 Unauthorized for invalid project credentials.

Integration notes

Use POST /v1/projects from a trusted server environment. Keep your NovaAI API key out of browser bundles and pass only the data required for create project in each request.

Validate inputs before sending the request, log the returned request identifier for troubleshooting, and use exponential backoff for temporary failures or rate-limit responses. Treat malformed payloads and authorization failures as non-retryable until corrected.

Error handling

Inspect the error type and code returned by NovaAI before retrying. Correct invalid parameters for 400 responses, refresh or replace credentials for 401 responses, and wait before retrying requests that are temporarily limited.
