POST method to create collections using the API

[selcuk]

Good day, community!

I’m new here and just wanted to clarify something. I would like to create a Collection using the API, but based on what I’ve seen so far, it seems that we can’t do this via the API. The documentation at https://bitwarden.com/help/api/ shows that we have GET, PUT, and DELETE methods, but no POST method for creating Collections.

From my research, I understand that Collection names are encrypted (and required), which means the use of the CLI or another Bitwarden client is necessary. That’s likely why there isn’t a POST endpoint available for this.

So, just to confirm—there’s no way to create a Collection using the API alone?

Thanks in advance for your help!
