Create a collection #

Creates a new collection.

Examples #

The following request creates a new collection called my-collection in the namespace my-namespace:

PUT /my-namespace:my-collection

If creating a collection within the default namespace, it can be simplified as:

PUT /my-collection

Request #

PUT /[<namespace>:]<name>

Path parameters #

• <namespace>
  (Optional, string) The namespace which the collection belongs to. Namespace names must meet the following criteria:
  • Lowercase only
  • Cannot include \ /, *, ?, ", <, >, |, , ,, #
  • Cannot start with -, _, +
  • Cannot be . or ..
  • Cannot be longer than 255 bytes (note it is bytes, so multi-byte characters will count towards the 255 limit faster)
• <name>
  (Required, string) Name of the collection you wish to create. Collection names must meet the same criteria as namespace names.
