POST /v1/groups

Creates a group.

Params

To create a group, a data body must be provided. Data can be provided in three formats: XML, JSON and query string. To specify data type of XML or JSON add the Content-type: application/(json|xml) header to request headers. If you want to provide query string simply skip the Content-type header.

All params should be sent in the group namespace, e.g.:

XML

<group>
  <name>Group Name</name>
  <type>space</type>
  <items type="array">
    <item>d6_muWDNyr4PMj5bfBjDYC</item>
    <item>dCDf9QDNyr4PMj5bfBjDYC</item>
    ...
  </items>
</group>

JSON

{"name":"Group Name","type":"space","items":["d6_muWDNyr4PMj5bfBjDYC", "dCDf9QDNyr4PMj5bfBjDYC", ...]}

Query string

group[name]=Group Name&group[type]=space&group[items]=...
