## Create a dataset

`datasets.create(DatasetCreateParams**kwargs)  -> Dataset`

**post** `/v5/datasets`

Create a dataset and populate it with its initial items in a single call.

Use this when the dataset does not exist yet: it creates the dataset and seeds it with the
items you provide. To add more items to a dataset that already exists, use
POST /v5/dataset-items/batch instead. A name is required, and the request must include at
least one item in `data`; the optional `files` field associates files with the created items.
The provided items are inserted as dataset items as a side effect of creation, and any `tags`
are attached to the dataset. The returned dataset is at version 1.

### Parameters

- `data: Iterable[Dict[str, object]]`

  Items to be included in the dataset

- `name: str`

- `description: Optional[str]`

- `files: Optional[Iterable[Dict[str, str]]]`

  Files to be associated to the dataset

- `tags: Optional[Sequence[str]]`

  The tags associated with the entity

### Returns

- `class Dataset: …`

  - `id: str`

    The unique identifier of the entity.

  - `created_at: datetime`

    The date and time when the entity was created in ISO format.

  - `created_by: Identity`

    The identity that created the entity.

    - `id: str`

    - `type: Literal["user", "service_account"]`

      - `"user"`

      - `"service_account"`

    - `object: Optional[Literal["identity"]]`

      - `"identity"`

  - `current_version_num: int`

  - `name: str`

  - `tags: Optional[List[str]]`

    The tags associated with the entity

  - `archived_at: Optional[datetime]`

    The date and time when the entity was archived in ISO format.

  - `description: Optional[str]`

  - `object: Optional[Literal["dataset"]]`

    - `"dataset"`

### Example

```python
import os
from scale_gp_beta import SGPClient

client = SGPClient(
    api_key=os.environ.get("SGP_API_KEY"),  # This is the default and can be omitted
)
dataset = client.datasets.create(
    data=[{
        "foo": "bar"
    }],
    name="name",
)
print(dataset.id)
```
