# Create a script

To create a script in a realm, perform an HTTP POST using the `/json{/realm}/scripts` endpoint, with an `_action` parameter set to `create`. Include a JSON representation of the script in the POST data.

The value for `script` must be in UTF-8 format and encoded into Base64.

```bash
$ curl \
--request POST \
--header "Content-Type: application/json" \
--header "Authorization: Bearer <access-token>" \
--header "Accept-API-Version: resource=1.1" \
--data '{
