Hi @CHINNAMUTHEVISAI.SATYANARAYANASHARMA ,

sure, you can. Please take a look to the following documentation https://developer.atlassian.com/cloud/jira/platform/rest/v3/api-group-projects/#api-rest-api-3-project-post

There are some missing parameters in your request.

Thanks Fabio for your help.

even after mentioning all details i got error that error parsing Json , check your body is valid error.

i added this code in the Body

`{

  "assigneeType": "PROJECT_LEAD",

  "avatarId": 10200,

  "categoryId": 10120,

  "description": "Cloud migration initiative",

  "issueSecurityScheme": 10001,

  "key": "EX",

  "leadAccountId": "61f93c0fb3ec760068c11a32",

  "name": "Example",

  "notificationScheme": 10000,

  "permissionScheme": 0,

  "projectTypeKey": "business",

  }`;

i want to remove avatar id from that as we dont user Avatars more .

@CHINNAMUTHEVISAI.SATYANARAYANASHARMA ,

Did you check if the user you are using has the permission to create projects ?

[CHINNAMUTHEVISAI.SATYANARAYANASHARMA]

Yes User is an Org admin and he have a permission to create project.
