## Create a new batch

<mark style="color:green;">`POST`</mark> `https://clevver.org/api/batches`

In order to store files on Clevver, you must first create a batch. Files can then be attached to the batch and later started by calling the start method.

{% tab title="201: Created " %}

```json
{
  "status": "success",
  "data": {
      "id": "5c893d75-2a8b-4712-b56f-89377ac97681",

      "progress": 0,
      "created_at": "2023-11-01 13:53:12",
      "message": "Batch created successfully"
  }
}
```

{% endtab %}
{% endtabs %}

## Start a storage job

<mark style="color:green;">`POST`</mark> `https://clevver.org/api/batches/{batch_id}/start`

Once a storage job has been created and files have been attached to it, you can then start the job. Starting the job will begin the process of storing the files onto the blockchain.
