# Creating A Control Room

### **Recap: What’s a Control Room?**

Control Rooms are “containers of insights”.

Control Rooms can be created to **organise insights geographically** (e.g. Hero Potion control rooms for different regions, New York, Boston, San Fran).

They can also be used to organise insights **by themes or types of insights** (for example, different Control Rooms for the regulator, marketing team and logistics).

And of course, you can **mix and match** (for example, have control rooms for the logistics team in NY, a different one for the logistics team in San Fran and perhaps another Control Room that displays logistics insights across all cities).

### **Creating your first Control Room - Using the interface**

Creating a Control Room is a super easy, four step process:

1. Sign in to your launchpad 
2. Create Control Room
3. Give it a name, we've called ours “Heroes Flying Potion - Real-time Monitoring” 
4. Create Control Room

### **Creating your first Control Room - Using the API**

It’s entirely possible that Control Rooms need to be provisioned using APIs. For example, an automatic process that creates a control room for each pharmacy that purchases from HP Inc. This way each pharmacy can see information about shipping status as well as create and see insights about its customers.

#### **Creating the Control Room**

```
POST api.skyledge.com/controlrooms

// raw JSON body for api request
{  
   "name":"Heroes Flying Potion - Real-time Monitoring",
   "description":"Real-time monitoring of Flying Potions"
}

```

{% tabs %}
{% tab title="cURL" %}

```
curl --location --request POST 'https://api.skyledge.com/controlrooms' \
--header 'X-Authorization: API_KEY' \
--header 'Content-Type: application/json' \
--data-raw {  
   "name":"Heroes Flying Potion - Real-time Monitoring",
   "description":"Real-time monitoring of Flying Potions"
}
```

{% endtab %}

{% tab title="NodeJs" %}

```
import {
  Configuration,
  ControlRoomsApi,
  CreateControlRoomRequest,
} from '@skyledge/sdk';

const configuration = new Configuration({
  apiKey: 'XXXXXXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXXXXXX',
  basePath: 'https://api.skyledge.com',
});

const data: Partial<CreateControlRoomRequest> = {  
   "name":"Heroes Flying Potion - Real-time Monitoring",
   "description":"Real-time monitoring of Flying Potions"
}

const controlRoomApi = new ControlRoomsApi(configuration);

const newControlRoom = await controlRoomApi.createControlRoom(data);

console.log(newControlRoom.status);

```

{% endtab %}

{% tab title="Python" %}

```
import requests
import json

url = "https://api.skyledge.com/controlrooms"

payload = json.dumps({  
   "name":"Heroes Flying Potion - Real-time Monitoring",
   "description":"Real-time monitoring of Flying Potions"
})
headers = {
  'X-Authorization': 'API_KEY',
  'Content-Type': 'application/json'
}

response = requests.request("POST", url, headers=headers, data=payload)

print(response.text)
```

{% endtab %}
{% endtabs %}
