# Create Batch

`POST /api/v1/batches`

Handle POST requests (create batch or cancel batch).

Thin view: BatchAPIProxy owns the whole pipeline — preprocessing (built-in
``_preprocess``), key-usage + billing enforcement, generation, and the
gateway error policy. raw_payload is captured before the proxy mutates
``request.data`` during preprocessing.
