# Create dashboard

> Create a native or Grafana-imported dashboard.

```http theme={null}
POST /api/v1/dashboards
```

Create a dashboard natively or by importing a Grafana dashboard model. Unknown fields round-trip
losslessly so import/export is non-destructive.

The request body wraps the complete dashboard object in `model` and may include `folder_id`:

```json theme={null}
{
  "model": {
    "uid": "service-overview",
    "title": "Service overview",
    "tags": ["operations"],
    "panels": []
  },
  "folder_id": null
}
```

The model must contain a non-empty `uid` and `title`. Creating dashboards requires
`dashboards.create`.
