Hello the Piwik Pro Team and the Piwik Community,

I’m a newbee in the use of the API.  
I would like to know if it’s possible to create a new “app” configuration and also 'custom dimensions" only with one code via Piwik Pro API ?  
If so do you provide some examples please ?

Thanks in advance for your kindly support.  
Kind regards,  
Sébastien

Hey Sébastien,  
you would need to use 2 API calls here: one to create a new App and one to create custom dimensions.

To create a new App you can use [`/api/apps/v2`](https://developers.piwik.pro/en/latest/platform/authorized_api/apps/apps_api.html#operation/api_app_add_v2) endpoint.  
As you can see in our documentation, the required attributes are `name` and `urls`. On the right, you can expand the sample request or you can use the one below:

```auto
{
    "data": {
        "type": "ppms/app",
        "attributes": {
            "name": "New App",
            "urls": [
                "https://example.com"
            ]
        }
    }
}

```

To create custom dimensions you’d need to use [`/api/analytics/v1/manage/custom-dimensions/`](https://developers.piwik.pro/en/latest/custom_reports/object_management_api/object_management_api.html#tag/Custom-Dimensions/paths/~1api~1analytics~1v1~1manage~1custom-dimensions~1/post) endpoint. Again, you can also see a sample request on the right. Please remember to change the `website_id` to the one that you got from creating a new app.
