# Create a workspace

POST https://api.sigmacomputing.com/v2/workspaces
Content-Type: application/json

This endpoint allows clients to create a workspace with specific characteristics.

### Usage notes
- Set **NoDuplicates** to **true** to prevent the creation of a workspace with a name that already exists.

### Usage scenarios
- **Initial setup**: Useful for users setting up a new workspace after signing up.
- **Project separation**: Helps in creating separate workspaces for different projects or teams.

### Best practices
- **Check for existing names**: Before setting `noDuplicates` to true, make sure to search for existing workspace names to avoid conflicts.
- **Consistent naming conventions**: Adopt a consistent naming convention for workspaces to ensure clarity and avoid confusion.
