# Create Workspace

POST https://api.rray.app/v1/workspaces
Content-Type: application/json

Create a workspace under your account. A workspace is a sending tenant with its own
message history and its own sending-IP pool; every account starts with one called
`default`, and you add more when you want separate histories — one per product, or one
per environment. The returned `id` is what you pass as `RRay-Workspace-Id`.

Reference: https://docs.rray.app/api/api-reference/workspaces/create

## Authentication

- `Authorization` header (bearer token, required) — A workspace key (`rray_live_…`, bound to one workspace) or the account's platform key. Platform keys name the target workspace with `RRay-Workspace-Id`. See [Credentials](https://docs.rray.app/docs/concepts/authentication).

## Request

### Body (application/json)

This endpoint expects a WorkspaceCreate.

- `name` (string, required) — Name for the new workspace, unique within your account (1–100 characters).

## Response

### 201

Successful Response

- `id` (string, required) — Identifier of the workspace. This is the value you send as `RRay-Workspace-Id`.
- `name` (string, required) — Name you gave the workspace.
- `status` (string, required) — Whether the workspace may send.
- `egress_pool` (string, required) — Name of the sending-IP pool this workspace's mail goes out through.
- `customer_id` (string, required) — Account that owns the workspace.
- `created_at` (datetime, required) — When the workspace was created (RFC 3339, UTC).
- `object` ("workspace", optional, default: workspace) — Always `workspace`.
- `monthly_delivery_limit` (integer, optional, nullable) — Ceiling on deliveries this workspace may send per billing period; `null` when it is only bounded by the account's own allowance.

## Types

### ValidationIssue

One failed field — an entry of the ``invalid_params`` array (a request field the caller can fix). Shared by schema-validation failures (pydantic) and field-scoped business rules (e.g. a duplicate recipient), so the two cannot drift in shape.

- `field` (string, required) — Path of the request field that failed, e.g. `to`, `attachments[0]`.
- `message` (string, required) — Human-readable explanation of this field error (safe to surface in a UI).
- `kind` (string, required) — Machine-readable CAUSE token (finer than the error `code`): a pydantic type (`missing`, `string_too_long`, `value_error`) for a schema failure, or a business cause — `duplicate`, `invalid_base64`, `unsupported_scheme`, `missing_host`, `unresolvable_host`, `private_address`, `size_exceeded`, `plan_restricted`. Branch on this, not `message`.

### StateError

One failed resource-state precondition — an entry of the ``state_errors`` array. Unlike ``invalid_params`` it points at a resource/account state (not a request field), e.g. an unverified sender domain or insufficient credits.

- `resource` (string, required) — The resource whose state blocked the request, e.g. `sender_domain`.
- `message` (string, required) — Human-readable explanation of the state problem (safe to surface in a UI).
- `kind` (string, required) — Machine-readable CAUSE token (finer than the error `code`), e.g. `unverified`.
- `resource_id` (string, optional, nullable) — Identifier of that resource, e.g. `example.com`.
