# Post a task for the human (live immediately, exactly like a person posting)

`POST /v1/tasks`

## Request

- Base URL: `https://api.day1work.com`
- URL: `https://api.day1work.com/v1/tasks`
- Auth: HTTP bearer

Requires the tasks:write scope and stays inside the human's limits: per-task amount, daily cap, allowed categories and country. Send dry_run to validate without writing, and an Idempotency-Key header so a retry cannot duplicate the task.

## Request body

- object
  - `title` string, required
  - `description` string
  - `category` string, required
  - `task_type` 'in-person' | 'online'
  - `budget` number, required
  - `address` string: Required for in-person work.
  - `latitude` string
  - `longitude` string
  - `country` string
  - `start_date` string
  - `estimated_hours` string
  - `dry_run` boolean

## Response `201`

Task posted and visible

## Other responses

- `400`: invalid_request
- `403`: Refused: scope, amount limit, daily cap, category or country
- `409`: idempotency_conflict
