/v1/model/viewsCreate a view
operation ID: post_v1_model_views
Overview
Create a view. The model API describes assets, attributes, bindings, templates, views, registries, and governed changes that give series data its operational meaning.
When to use it
- Use it when an application needs to create a view.
- Use it when a modeling tool is building, governing, resolving, or inspecting the asset and attribute hierarchy.
Quick example
Set the base URL and replace generated identifiers or credentials with values from your installation.
cURL
curl --request POST \
--url "$ORDINATE_URL/v1/model/views" \
--header "Authorization: Bearer $ORDINATE_TOKEN" \
--header "Content-Type: application/json" \
--data '{
"name": "string"
}'Expected output · 200
Created view
Example 200 output
{
"view_id": "00000000-0000-4000-8000-000000000001",
"name": "string",
"retired": false,
"tx_id": 0
}The cURL request sends the smallest contract-derived body and asks OrdinateDB to create a view. The documented 200 response is created view.
How it works
Assets form the composition hierarchy, attributes describe values on those assets, and time-bounded bindings connect attributes to stored series.
