# Create a database row

`POST /v1/databases/{databaseId}/rows`

Creates a row (a document under the database). Values implied by the view's filter and by the group (group/subGroup keys) are filled in, as in Notion; values override them. With templateId, the template's properties and body are copied first. uniqueId properties get the next number unless values gives one (12 or "LYD-12").

Scope: `docs:write`. Undoable.
