## Create a 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.
