Request Parameters¶

Request Path Parameters¶

This endpoint does not use HTTP request path parameters.

Request Query Parameters¶

The following query parameters are optional:

Name	Type	Necessity	Description	Default
pageNum	number	Optional	One-based integer that returns a subsection of results.	`1`
itemsPerPage	number	Optional	Number of items to return per page, up to a maximum of 500.	`100`
pretty	boolean	Optional	Flag that indicates whether the response body should be in a prettyprint format.	`false`
envelope	boolean	Optional	Flag that indicates whether or not to wrap the response in an envelope. Some API clients cannot access the HTTP response headers or status code. To remediate this, set `envelope : true` in the query. For endpoints that return a list of results, the `results` object is an envelope. Cloud Manager adds the `status` field to the response body.	`false`

Request Body Parameters¶

Name	Type	Necessity	Description
`name`	string	Required	Name of the organization you want to create.

Response Parameters¶

Name	Type	Description
`id`	string	Unique identifier for the organization.
`name`	string	Name of the organization.
