# POST /api/v1/projects/bulk

> Bulk create projects

- **Tag:** projects
- **Operation ID:** `bulk_create_projects_api_v1_projects_bulk_post`

## Description

Create up to 100 projects in one request with per-row customer resolution. Rows may pass customer_name instead of customer_id — an exact case-insensitive match auto-resolves; ambiguous or unmatched names fail only that row (CUSTOMER_AMBIGUOUS / CUSTOMER_NOT_FOUND with candidate customers) unless create_missing_customers is true, in which case unmatched customers are created inline.

## Authentication

Bearer token in `Authorization` header.
Required header: `x-business-id: <business uuid>`.
