# Create Folder

`POST /folders/`

Create a folder.

The folder name must match `[\w -]+` (letters, digits, underscore,
space, hyphen); other characters return `400`. The resulting path
(the slug joined to the parent's path with a dot) must be unique
within the project, otherwise the call returns `409`. Passing a
`parent_id` that does not exist returns `404`. Paths are capped at
10 levels of nesting and slugs at 64 characters.
