# Create a showcase

`POST https://api.cademi.com.br/api/v3/showcases`

Operation ID: `showcases.create` · API v3

Creates a showcase or a showcase group. New showcases and groups are always created with the `draft` status.

Showcases follow a two-level hierarchy: groups exist only at the top level and can contain showcases. To create a showcase inside a group, set `parent_id` to the group's public ID; if `parent_id` does not reference a group, the request is rejected with `hierarchy_violation`. A showcase created inside a group is always created with the `showcase` kind.

Required permissions: `showcases.create`.
