# Create a project transfer request

`POST /projects/{project_id}/transfer_requests`

Creates a transfer request for the specified project. The request expires after a set period.
To accept the request, the recipient calls `PUT /projects/{project_id}/transfer_requests/{request_id}`
or uses the Neon Console claim link.
The optional `ru` parameter redirects the recipient after acceptance.

## Request body

- object
  - `ttl_seconds` integer — Specifies the validity duration of the transfer request in seconds. If not provided, the request will expire after 24 hours (86,400 seconds).

## Response `201`

Project transfer request created successfully

- ProjectTransferRequestResponse
  - `id` string, uuid, required — The unique identifier for the transfer request
  - `project_id` string, required — The ID of the project that is being transferred
  - `created_at` string, date-time, required — The timestamp when the transfer request was created
  - `expires_at` string, date-time, required — The timestamp when the transfer request will expire

## Other responses

- `default` — General Error. The request may or may not be safe to retry, depending on the HTTP method, response status code, and whether a response was received. - If no response is returned from the API, a network error or timeout likely occurred. - In some cases, the request may have reached the server and been successfully processed, but the response failed to reach the client. As a result, retrying non-idempotent requests can lead to unintended results. The following HTTP methods are considered non-idempotent: `POST`, `PATCH`, `DELETE`, and `PUT`. Retrying these methods is generally **not safe**. The following methods are considered idempotent: `GET`, `HEAD`, and `OPTIONS`. Retrying these methods is **safe** in the event of a network error or timeout. Any request that returns a `503 Service Unavailable` response is always safe to retry. Any request that returns a `423 Locked` response is safe to retry. `423 Locked` indicates that the resource is temporarily locked, for example, due to another operation in progress.
