Create a database

POST /v1/databases · Console only

Console only: this endpoint needs the session of a user signed in to the console. Api-Key and Api-Secret do not work on it, and there is no supported way to call it from your own code. It is documented to explain what the console does. The console does it for you in database selector → New database.

1{"name": "my-app"}
