Create a portfolio

POST /portfolios
Copy endpoint
https://app.asana.com/api/1.0

Required scope: portfolios:write

Creates a new portfolio in the given workspace with the supplied name.

Note that portfolios created in the Asana UI may have some state (like the “Priority” custom field) which is automatically added to the portfolio when it is created. Portfolios created via our API will not be created with the same initial state to allow integrations to create their own starting state on a portfolio.

opt_pretty

Provides “pretty” output. Provides the response in a “pretty” format. In the case of JSON this means doing proper line breaking and indentation to make it readable. This will take extra time and increase the response size so it is advisable only to use this during debugging.

Client Errors

400 application/json

This usually occurs because of a missing or malformed parameter. Check the documentation and the syntax of your request and try again.

interface ErrorResponse {
errors?: Error
interface Error {
message?: string;
help?: string;
phrase?: string;
}
[]
;
}
401 application/json

A valid authentication token was not provided with the request, so the API could not associate a user with the request.

interface ErrorResponse {
errors?: Error
interface Error {
message?: string;
help?: string;
phrase?: string;
}
[]
;
}
403 application/json

The authentication and request syntax was valid but the server is refusing to complete the request. This can happen if you try to read or write to objects or properties that the user does not have access to.

interface ErrorResponse {
errors?: Error
interface Error {
message?: string;
help?: string;
phrase?: string;
}
[]
;
}
404 application/json

Either the request method and path supplied do not specify a known action in the API, or the object specified by the request does not exist.

interface ErrorResponse {
errors?: Error
interface Error {
message?: string;
help?: string;
phrase?: string;
}
[]
;
}

Server Errors

500 application/json

There was a problem on Asana’s end. In the event of a server error the response body should contain an error phrase. These phrases can be used by Asana support to quickly look up the incident that caused the server error. Some errors are due to server load, and will not supply an error phrase.

interface ErrorResponse {
errors?: Error
interface Error {
message?: string;
help?: string;
phrase?: string;
}
[]
;
}
