Documented steps
Auth: Authorization: Bearer {token} with forms:write scope.
POST https://api.typeform.com/forms -H 'Authorization: Bearer {token}' -H 'Content-Type: application/json'
Minimal body: {"title": "My Form", "fields": [{"ref": "question_1", "title": "What is your name?", "type": "short_text"}]}
Common field types: short_text, long_text, email, multiple_choice, dropdown, date, rating, opinion_scale, yes_no, ranking, picture_choice, file_upload, payment, signature.
Set a stable `ref` per field so downstream code (logic jumps, response mapping, webhooks) doesn't depend on Typeform-generated field ids.
Success: 201 Created with a Location header pointing at the new form and a body containing the generated form id, field ids, and _links.
Official docs: https://www.typeform.com/developers/create/reference/create-form/
Known gotchas
Unsupported or misspelled `type` strings fail validation — every field requires a valid type.
Capture the form id from the 201 Location header or body for subsequent update/retrieve calls.
The full schema (choices, logic, validations, hidden fields, settings, theme, workspace) is much larger than the minimal example — consult the Create Form reference beyond plain text fields.
