# Create an organization Live

POST https://api.bibleit.app/v1/organizations/{organization_id}/lives
Content-Type: application/json

**Required scopes:** `live.create`.

Uses organization quotas and current domain authorization. Optional Idempotency-Key atomically records a successful creation for 24-hour replay; current authorization is rechecked. Changed payload or original If-Match returns 409 idempotency_conflict. Replay precedes stale-version and quota evaluation.

**Response headers:**

- `Location` (201): Relative URL of the created resource.

Reference: https://docs.bibleit.dev/api-reference/organizations/organization-lives/create-live

## Authentication

- `Authorization` header (bearer token, required) — Organization-owned service token. Issue the initial token in organization credential settings. Scopes are documented per operation via x-required-scopes; they are not OAuth scopes.

## Request

### Path parameters

- `organization_id` (string, required) — Immutable organization UUID bound to the service token.

### Headers

- `Idempotency-Key` (string, optional) — Optional case-sensitive retry key, retained 24 hours from successful commit. Scoped to credential principal (stable service-token ID; personal bt_ credential; delegated OAuth grant), account and concrete method/path. Payload, If-Match, query string and Content-Type must match. JSON object key order is ignored; queue reference casing/defaults are normalized; raw upload/import bytes are hashed. Replays retain original success body, Location and ETag with a fresh X-Request-Id, after current authority/ownership/processing/library checks. Same scope/key with changed input:409 idempotency_conflict. Concurrent requests serialize; a contended retry lock can return 409 idempotency_in_progress; bounded database waits can return 503. Errors are not recorded. After expiry, a key is treated as new; original resource/job lifetime is unchanged. No key means no retry guarantee.
