# Create Prompt

> Create a new prompt in your workspace

Creates a prompt in your workspace. The API key creator becomes the prompt owner and can manage it in the Prompt Library.

## Base URL

```
https://api.langdock.com/prompts/v1
```

<Warning>
  **Dedicated deployments**

  Replace `api.langdock.com` with `<your-deployment-url>/api/public` in all requests.
</Warning>

## Required Scopes

This endpoint requires the `PROMPT_API` scope.

<Info>
  Sharing the prompt with the workspace requires the `sharePrompts` permission. Assigning a folder requires write access to that folder.
