# Create Keys Bulk

`POST /v1/projects/{project_id}/keys/bulk`

## Request

- Base URL: `https://api.sonenta.dev`
- URL: `https://api.sonenta.dev/v1/projects/{project_id}/keys/bulk`
- Auth: none declared

Batch key create — idempotent, best-effort per item.

Items referencing an unknown namespace (not in this project) or a
(namespace, name) pair that repeats within the batch error per item;
valid items still commit. An item whose key already exists returns
`created=false` (counted as `unchanged`). The plan key-cap is a
whole-batch gate: if the NEW keys would exceed the org cap the entire
call is rejected (403) before any write.
