# Create standards

> Create up to 40 standards in one batch. Each standard names its category (created when missing), name, vendor, description, isRequired, defaultPrice and optional billing proof (agreement SKUs / billing items from the evidence endpoint; items not in the live catalog are dropped). A name already used by any standard in the tenant is skipped. Billing is re-checked after links are added. Staff only; requires the standards_white_space feature and manage_settings_tool_stack.



## OpenAPI

````yaml /openapi.json post /api/public/v1/standards
openapi: 3.0.3
info:
  title: MSPortal Public API
  version: 1.0.0
  description: >-
    Public API for MSPortal - provides programmatic access to tenant data.


    ## Authentication


    All endpoints require authentication via API key passed as a Bearer token:


    ```

    Authorization: Bearer <your-api-key>

    ```


    API keys can be created in the MSPortal dashboard under Settings →
    Integrations → API Access.


    **Important:** Do not include cookies in API requests. The public API uses
    stateless authentication only.


    ## Scopes


    API keys are granted specific scopes that determine what operations they can
    perform. Each endpoint documents its required scope(s).


    ## Rate Limiting


    API calls are rate limited per API key. Rate limit information is returned
    in response headers:


    - `X-RateLimit-Limit`: Maximum requests per minute

    - `X-RateLimit-Remaining`: Remaining requests in current window

    - `X-RateLimit-Reset`: When the rate limit resets (ISO 8601)


    ## Request ID


    All responses include an `X-Request-Id` header for debugging and support.
    You can also pass your own `X-Request-Id` header to correlate requests.
