# POST /workspaces

`POST /workspaces`

## Request

- Base URL: `https://api.laver.app` (the document declares no server; this is the origin it was published from)
- URL: `https://api.laver.app/workspaces`
- Auth: one of:
  - HTTP bearer
  - API key in header `Authorization`

## Request body

- object
  - `name` string, required

## Response `2XX`

Success. This endpoint declares no response schema, so its body is not part of the generated contract.

## Other responses

- `400`: The request failed schema validation, or the handler rejected its contents. Undeclared properties are rejected on every body, path and query schema, so an unexpected field is a 400 rather than a silently ignored one.
- `401`: No credential, or one that is expired, revoked or not accepted by this endpoint.
- `402`: The request would exceed a plan limit, or the workspace has been made read-only over an unpaid invoice. Billing never refuses a read: a workspace in any billing state can still be read in full and exported, and only its writes are turned away.
- `409`: The write lost a race, or collided with something that already exists. Where the resource carries optimistic concurrency the response body carries the current `version` alongside `error`, so the client can reconcile and retry without re-reading everything.
- `429`: The rate limit was exceeded. The budget is keyed on the authenticated session user or API key, falling back to the caller IP.
