# Create Request

`POST /api/v1/requests`

## Request

- Base URL: `https://trovastorage.it` (the document declares no server; this is the origin it was published from)
- URL: `https://trovastorage.it/api/v1/requests`
- Auth: one of:
  - API key in header `X-Access-Token`
  - HTTP bearer

The wizard's email step: the request is stored, and waits for the code
mailed to its address unless a verified account sent it.
