# Create a New Project
This sample code shows how to use the API to create a new project under your project and add the recipes to the project.
```python
import requests
from typing import List
def create_project(
api_key: str, owner: str, name: str, is_public: bool = False,
description: str = None, recipes: List[dict] = None
):
headers = {'x-pollination-token': api_key}
# create the project
url = f'https://api.pollination.solutions/projects/{owner}'
data = {
'name': name,
'description': description if description else '',
'public': is_public
}
print(f'Creating project {owner}/{name} ...')
response = requests.post(url=url, headers=headers, json=data)
response.raise_for_status()
print(f'Project {owner}/{name} is created!')
# add the recipes if any
recipes = recipes or []
recipe_url = f'https://api.pollination.solutions/projects/{owner}/{name}/recipes/filters'
for recipe in recipes:
# each recipe should be formatted as
# {'owner': 'owner', 'name':'name, 'tag': 'tag'}
print(f'Adding recipe {recipe} to the project.')
recipe_response = requests.post(
url=recipe_url, headers=headers, json=recipe
)
recipe_response.raise_for_status()
```
Here is an example of using the function to create a project under the Pollination organization.
```python
if __name__ == '__main__':
api_key = '' # provide a valid API key
assert api_key, 'Provide a valid API Key.'
owner = 'pollination' # change the owner to your organization
name = 'Sample Project'
description = 'This project is created automatically using the API.'
# see this link for the list of available recipes
# https://app.pollination.solutions/recipes
recipes = [
{'owner': 'ladybug-tools', 'name': 'annual-daylight', 'tag': 'latest'},
{'owner': 'ladybug-tools', 'name': 'annual-energy-use', 'tag': 'latest'}
]
create_project(
api_key=api_key, owner=owner, name=name, description=description,
recipes=recipes
)
```
Here are the screenshots of the project created using the sample code.
