Create a multilingual knowledge-base category
Creates a knowledge-base category with a stable key, icon, sort position, and localized lifecycle variants.
/api/kb/categoriesCreates a knowledge-base category with a stable key, icon, sort position, and localized lifecycle variants. The key and localized names must be unique within the authenticated organization.
Endpoint requirements
- Credentials
- Use either
Bearer API keyorX-API-Key header. - Required scope
knowledge-base:write- Module
- Automation & API module (
api_access) - Organization and site scope
- Requests can access only resources owned by the authenticated organization. The API does not reveal whether an identifier belongs to another organization or site.
- Retry behavior
- Convergent write: Retrying leaves the resource in the same resulting state. If the first request succeeded, a later retry may return conflict or not found because the change has already taken effect.
Header Parameters
DA-4035: selects the active site (project) for project-scoped operations. Accepts a site UUID, or the literal all to aggregate across every accessible site on read-only aggregate routes (single-or-all-read). Mutations and single-site routes reject all. Path-owned project routes (/api/projects/{projectId}/…) resolve the site from the URL and ignore this header. Conflicting selectors across header/query/body/path return PROJECT_CONTEXT_CONFLICT (400); an archived site returns PROJECT_ARCHIVED (410).
