Hi [@joe.626723128786](https://matillioncommunity.discourse.group/u/joe.626723128786)​,

The only way to create an Environment in a project using the API is through the Environment endpoint using the import method via a POST. So, you would have to build the POST body which would be environment specifics and then pass that into the import method. Check out this doc which explains the API: https://documentation.matillion.com/docs/2768621

To get a starting point of what an Environment might look like, you could export a current environment in a project and that would give you a starting place for the import. I hope this helps get you started. Thanks for posting!
