# Create a resource

`POST /v1/resources`

Creates a bookable resource (court, studio, property, ...) in the header's workspace. Owner/admin only. `capacity` >= 1 is the number of concurrent bookings the resource can absorb — availability holds count against it. Per-user rate-limited at 60/60s.

## Headers

| Parameter | Type | Required | Description |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| `X-Wiblo-Workspace` | `string` | Yes | Workspace id the call is scoped to. The actor must hold an active membership in it; a foreign or unknown id collapses onto 404 WORKSPACE_NOT_FOUND. |

## Request body

| Field | Type | Required | Description |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| `name` | `string` | Yes | Display name of the resource. |
| `category` | `string \| null` | No | Free-form pool label that category requirements draw from; `null` for an uncategorised resource. |
| `capacity` | `integer` | No | Concurrent bookings this one resource can hold at any instant — capacity `N` lets `N` bookings overlap on the same resource. Defaults to `1`. |

## Request

**curl**

```bash
curl https://api.wiblo.app/v1/resources \
  -X POST \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $WIBLO_TOKEN" \
  -H "X-Wiblo-Workspace: $WIBLO_WORKSPACE_ID" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
  "name": "Portable lighting kit",
  "category": "equipment",
  "capacity": 2
}'
```

| `category` | `string \| null` | Yes | Pool label that category requirements draw from; `null` for an uncategorised resource. |
