Requires authorization
Creates a new bucket.
Google Cloud Storage uses a flat namespace, so you can't create a bucket with a name that is already in use. For more information, see the bucket naming guidelines.
Required permissions
The authenticated user must have the storage.buckets.create
IAM
permission to use this method. If the request uses the enableObjectRetention
query
parameter, the authenticated user must also have the
storage.buckets.enableObjectRetention
IAM permission.
Request
HTTP request
POST https://storage.googleapis.com/storage/v1/b
In addition to standard query parameters, the following query parameters apply to this method.
To see an example of how to include query parameters in a request, see the JSON API Overview page.
