Endpoint

POST /models/{model_id}/projects

Path Parameters

Parameter	Type	Required	Description
model_id	integer	Yes	ID of the model

Request Parameters

Parameter	Type	Required	Description
name	string	Yes	Project name (≥4 characters)
inputCount	integer	Yes	Number of input variables for optimization (must be > 0)
minimums	array[float]	Yes	Minimum values for each input variable (length must match inputCount)
maximums	array[float]	Yes	Maximum values for each input variable (length must match inputCount, each value must be > corresponding minimum)
inputTypes	array[string]	Yes	Type of each input variable (length must match inputCount)

Validation Rules

• Model ID must be a positive integer

• Project name must be at least 4 characters

• inputCount must be a positive integer

• Array lengths must all match inputCount:

  • minimums array

  • maximums array

  • inputTypes array

• For each input:

  • minimum value must be less than maximum value

  • INTEGER type requires integer min/max values

  • CATEGORICAL type requires corresponding category string in categories array

  • LOGICAL type ignores min/max values

• CONTINUOUS and INTEGER minimums/maximums must be valid numbers

• Model must exist and be active
