# Create Developer Account

`POST /v3/portals/{portalId}/developers`

Creates a new developer account in the specified portal. SAML login is currently not supported.

## Request body

- CreateDeveloperRequest — Request body for creating a developer in a portal.
  - `email` string, email, required
  - `full_name` string, required
  - `status` 'approved' | 'pending' | 'revoked' | 'rejected' — When omitted, the portal's `auto_approve_developers` setting determines the initial status. Set this property to override the portal default with any valid developer status.
  - `send_invitation_email` boolean — When true, sends an invitation email to the developer. Default is false; no emails are sent unless explicitly requested.
  - `additional_data` FormResponseInput — Developer-supplied answers to a custom form, keyed by field `name` (lowercase slug; letters, digits, underscores, or hyphens). Each value matches the field's input type: string for text/email/textarea, number for number, boolean for checkbox, and for select a string when `mode` is `single_select` or an array of strings when `mode` is `multi_select`. Built-in fields (`full_name`, `email` on `developer_registration`) are submitted via top-level body properties — not here.

## Response `201`

Details about the created developer in a portal.

- PortalDeveloper
  - `id` string, uuid, required — Contains a unique identifier used for this resource.
  - `created_at` string, date-time, required — An ISO-8601 timestamp representation of entity creation date.
  - `updated_at` string, date-time, required — An ISO-8601 timestamp representation of entity update date.
  - `email` string, email, required
  - `full_name` string, required
  - `status` 'approved' | 'pending' | 'revoked' | 'rejected', required — The status of a developer in a portal. Approved developers can log in, create applications, and view and register for products they have access to. Pending, revoked, and rejected developers cannot login or view any non-public portal information, or create or modify applications or registrations.
  - `additional_data` FormResponseData — A developer's submitted form responses as returned by the server. Keyed by field `name` (lowercase slug; letters, digits, underscores, or hyphens). Each value is a self-describing record `{name, label, type, value}` captured at submission time. Stored encrypted at rest; not queryable via SQL.
