# Creating a Project

`POST /v1/projects`

To create a Project, the only information you must supply (via POST body) is the desired name of the Project.

## Response `200`

OK

- object
  - `id` number — The numerical ID of the Project.
  - `name` string, required — The name of the Project.
  - `description` string — The description of the Project, which is rendered as Markdown on Frontend.
  - `keyId` number — If managed encryption is enabled on the project, the numeric ID of the encryption key as tracked by Central is given here.
  - `archived` boolean — Whether the Project is archived or not. `null` is equivalent to `false`. All this does is sort the Project to the bottom of the list and disable management features in the web management application.
