# Create dimensional price group

`POST /dimensional_price_groups`

A dimensional price group is used to partition the result of a billable metric by a set of dimensions. Prices in a
price group must specify the partition used to derive their usage.

For example, suppose we have a billable metric that measures the number of widgets used and we want to charge differently
depending on the color of the widget. We can create a price group with a dimension "color" and two prices: one that
charges \$10 per red widget and one that charges \$20 per blue widget.

## Request body

- NewDimensionalPriceGroup
  - `metadata` object, nullable — User-specified key/value pairs for the resource. Individual keys can be removed by setting the value to `null`, and the entire metadata mapping can be cleared by setting `metadata` to `null`.
  - `name` string, required
  - `external_dimensional_price_group_id` string, nullable
  - `dimensions` string[], required — The set of keys (in order) used to disambiguate prices in the group.
  - `billable_metric_id` string, required

## Response `201`

  - `dimensions` string[], required — The dimensions that this dimensional price group is defined over
  - `billable_metric_id` string, required — The billable metric associated with this dimensional price group. All prices associated with this dimensional price group will be computed using this billable metric.
