# Create new deployment

`POST /v1/deployments`

## Request body

- object
  - `data` object, required
    - `sdl` string, required
    - `deposit` number — Deprecated and ignored. The platform funds every deployment automatically from your account credits.
    - `runtimeLimitHours` integer — Optional runtime limit in hours (1 to 48), counted from lease start. Automatic funding keeps the deployment running until the limit, then the deployment is closed automatically and unused funds are returned. Extend a limit with PATCH /v2/deployment-settings/{dseq}. Omit for always-on funding.
