# POST /datasets/{datasetId}/examples/add

`POST /datasets/{datasetId}/examples/add`

Adds examples to the dataset's DRAFT. All examples are validated against the dataset's schema type before any writes occur. If any example fails validation, the entire batch is rejected (all-or-nothing semantics).

## Path parameters

- `datasetId` string, required

## Request body

- object
  - `clientToken` string — A unique, case-sensitive identifier to ensure that the API request completes no more than one time. If you don't specify this field, a value is randomly generated for you. If this token matches a previous request, the service ignores the request, but doesn't return an error. For more information, see <a href="https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AWSEC2/latest/APIReference/Run_Instance_Idempotency.html">Ensuring idempotency</a>.
