Create a new project

There are several ways to create a new project in APIContext — through the web UI or the CLI.

Organization members

When you create a project while signed in as a member of an organization, the project is automatically added to that organization. This applies to both the web UI and the CLI.

Create a project with the CLI

Use the create-project generated command to create a project from the command line:

apimetrics create-project name: "My New Project"

You can also provide an optional description:

apimetrics create-project name: "My New Project" description: "Production API monitors"

After creating the project, select it to make it the active project for subsequent commands:

apimetrics project select

Create a project from the web UI

You can create a new project from the Collections page either by clicking on the Add Project button over the Quick start box or the Add Project button in the Create projects box. Enter the name of the project you want to create in the text box and click Add.
