     Can you share more about the specific request you made?  I believe that `group_tag_name` refers to the `name` parameter for the Create Group API endpoint — how did you provide the name parameter?

    Hi 

    I used the R Client API tester with the input as below:

     Ahh, I see the problem — per the Create Group API documentation, the name is a body parameter, not a query string parameter.  You'll need to move that into the POST body as JSON, e.g.

     

    {"name": "Beer"}

    Does that work for you?

    Ah that makes sense.

    Now it works.
