### Example

Create a batch:

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

```python
import os
from dotenv import load_dotenv
from imerit_ango.sdk import SDK

load_dotenv('variables.env')
api_key = os.getenv('API_KEY')
project_id = os.getenv('PROJECT_ID')

ango_sdk = SDK(api_key)

ango_sdk.create_batch(project_id=project_id, batch_name="My Batch Name")
```

{% endtab %}

{% tab title="curl" %}

```bash
curl -X POST "https://imeritapi.ango.ai/v2/batches/$PROJECT_ID" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -H "apikey: $ANGO_API_KEY" \
  -d '{
    "batches": [
      {
        "name": "My Batch Name"
      }
    ]
  }'
```

{% endtab %}
{% endtabs %}

Prevent creating duplicate batches:

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

```python
import os
from dotenv import load_dotenv
from imerit_ango.sdk import SDK

load_dotenv('variables.env')
api_key = os.getenv('API_KEY')
project_id = os.getenv('PROJECT_ID')

ango_sdk = SDK(api_key)

batch_name = "My Batch"

# Get available batch names from project
batches = ango_sdk.get_batches(project_id)

project_batch_name_list = []
for batch in batches:
    project_batch_name = batch['name']
    project_batch_name_list.append(project_batch_name)

# Create batch if it is not available on the project
if batch_name not in project_batch_name_list:
    ango_sdk.create_batch(project_id=project_id, batch_name=batch_name)
```

{% endtab %}
{% endtabs %}

{% hint style="info" %}
