# How to Create a Project

https://api-docs.lumar.io/docs/graphql/create-project

To create a Project, you must use one of the following mutations based on the desired project type. As a bare minimum, you have to provide the `accountId` in which you are creating your Project, a `name` for your Project, and a `primaryDomain`.

The `createProject` mutation has been deprecated and split into four different mutations based on the project type.

### Project Types

- **Basic**: Generate basic crawl metrics and add extensions for custom metrics and reports.
- **SEO**: Generate SEO reports and metrics to optimize for search engines.
- **Accessibility**: Generate Accessibility reports and metrics to optimize for inclusive user experiences and compliance with accessibility standards.
- **Site Speed**: Generate Site Speed reports and metrics to optimize for speed performance.

### Basic Project

```graphql
mutation CreateBasicProject($input: CreateProjectInput!) {
  createBasicProject(input: $input) {
    project {
      ...ProjectDetails
    }
  }
}

fragment ProjectDetails on Project {
  id
  name
  primaryDomain
  # ...other fields you want to retrieve
}
```

**Variables:**
```json
{
  "input": {
    "accountId": "TjAwN0FjY291bnQ3MTU",
    "name": "www.lumar.io Basic Project",
    "primaryDomain": "https://www.lumar.io/"
  }
}
```

**Response:**
```json
{
  "data": {
    "createBasicProject": {
      "project": {
        "id": "TjAwN1Byb2plY3Q2MTMz",
        "name": "www.lumar.io Basic Project",
        "primaryDomain": "https://www.lumar.io/"
      }
    }
  }
}
```

Of course, you can pass any of the optional fields at the time of creation. Explore [`CreateProjectInput`](/docs/schema/inputs/create-project-input.md) to see what fields are available.
