# Create a banner

`POST /v1/banners`

## Request

- Base URL: `https://api.brixsignage.com`
- URL: `https://api.brixsignage.com/v1/banners`
- Auth: HTTP bearer

Create an announcement banner with a `title` and optional `body`, `tone`, `audience`, and `active` state. `tone` defaults to "info" when not specified.

**Notes.**
- The 201 body is the row as written, not re-read from the database, so columns the create does not set (for example `lastSnapshotAt`) are absent rather than null. `GET` returns every column.

## Request body

- object
  - `title` string, required
  - `body` string, nullable
  - `tone` 'info' | 'success' | 'warning' | 'critical': Default `info`.
  - `audience` object
  - `active` boolean: Default true.

## Response `201`

Success.

- object
  - `data` Banner, required: A workspace message banner shown on screens.
    - `id` string, required
    - `spaceId` string, required
    - `title` string, required
    - `body` string, nullable, required
    - `tone` 'info' | 'success' | 'warning' | 'critical', required
    - `audience` object, required: Free-form JSON the screens use to pick the banner (default `{}`).
    - `active` boolean, required
    - `createdAt` string, required: ISO-8601 timestamp (UTC).
    - `updatedAt` string, required: ISO-8601 timestamp (UTC).
    - `deletedAt` string, nullable, required: ISO-8601 timestamp (UTC).

## Other responses

- `401`: Missing, expired or revoked bearer token.
- `403`: The token lacks the permission this operation needs (see `x-brix-permission`).
- `422`: `title` is missing.
- `5XX`: Server error. The body carries a `requestId` to quote to support.
