# Create records

`POST https://your-suite.gtable.app/your-app/v1/tables/{tableId}/records`

Creates one or more records.

> **Note: Generic contract**
>
> Your own version of this operation, with your tables and the fields you can read, is in
> your app's document: `https://{suite}.gtable.app/{app}/v1/openapi.json`, behind your credential.
> [Why each person gets their own](/docs/start/studio-and-runtime#why-an-app-has-an-api-of-its-own).

Keys are field ids or exact field names; a key that is not a field you can see is refused. A field you can see but not write is dropped and counted in `droppedFields`, and a record none of whose fields could be written is refused. Send an Idempotency-Key header to make a retry safe. Email, URL and phone text is preserved; visible suspect values are returned in warnings (code suspect\_format, recordId, fieldId, fieldName, message). A warning is a successful save, not a reason to retry. Invalid numeric values, ratings and ISO dates fail with validation\_failed/422. A failing create batch saves no rows.

Requires the `records:write` scope. Operation `records.create`. MCP tool `records_create`. CLI, once published: `gtable records create`.
