# Create a blog

`POST /v1/accounts/{accountId}/blogs`

Creates a blog on the connected store. The platform generates the URL
`handle` from the title when omitted.

Supported on Shopify (platform `shopify`). A WordPress connection is
its existing site, so WordPress returns 405 for blog creation.

## Path parameters

- `accountId` string, required

## Request body

- object
  - `title` string, required
  - `handle` string — URL slug. Generated from the title when omitted.

## Response `201`

Blog created

- object
  - `platform` 'shopify'
  - `blog` Blog — A blog container on the connected platform. All content lives on the platform; Zernio proxies it and stores nothing.
    - `id` string — Platform-native blog id. Shopify uses a numeric blog id. WordPress.com uses the numeric site id; self-hosted WordPress uses `1`, scoped to the connected account.
    - `platform` 'shopify' | 'wordpress'
    - `title` string
    - `handle` string — URL slug on Shopify; site hostname on WordPress.

## Other responses

- `400` — Invalid request
- `401` — Unauthorized
- `403` — The platform rejected the request (code insufficient_permissions); reconnect the Shopify account to restore access.
- `404` — Account not found or not accessible (code account_not_found).
- `405` — Platform does not support creating blogs.
- `429` — Rate limited, either by Zernio or by Shopify. Retry later.
