​
Create a new project

In this example, you will create a new project and retrieve its details. You will use the following method:
  • Create project
run.ts
import { Vercel } from '@vercel/sdk';  const vercel = new Vercel({  bearerToken: process.env.VERCEL_TOKEN, });  async function createAndGetProject() {  try {  const createResponse = await vercel.projects.createProject({  requestBody: {  name: 'my-new-project',  framework: 'nextjs',  },  });   console.log(`Project created: ${createResponse.id}`);  console.log('Project Details:', JSON.stringify(createResponse, null, 2));  } catch (error) {  console.error(  error instanceof Error ? `Error: ${error.message}` : String(error),  );  } }  createAndGetProject();

​
Create a new project with additional setup

In this example, you will create a new project, add environment variables, and set up automatic GitHub deployments.
  • Create project
  • Create env
run.ts
import { Vercel } from '@vercel/sdk';  const vercel = new Vercel({  bearerToken: process.env.VERCEL_TOKEN, });  async function setupProjectWithGitHub() {  try {  // Create a new project with GH integration  const createResponse = await vercel.projects.createProject({  requestBody: {  name: 'advanced-project',  framework: 'nextjs',  gitRepository: {  repo: 'your-username-or-orgname/your-repo-name', //The repository should have been created before and the GH account is connected to your Vercel account  type: 'github',  },  },  });   console.log(`Project created: ${createResponse.id}`);   const envResponse = await vercel.projects.createProjectEnv({  idOrName: createResponse.id,  upsert: 'true',  requestBody: [  {  key: 'DATABASE_URL',  value: 'postgresql://user:pass@host:5432/db',  type: 'encrypted', // Encrypted when saved and viewable in the Vercel dashboard with correct permissions  target: ['production', 'preview'],  },  {  key: 'API_KEY',  value: 'your-api-key',  type: 'encrypted', // Encrypted when saved and viewable in the Vercel dashboard with correct permissions  target: ['production'],  },  {  key: 'API_URL',  value: 'your-api-url',  type: 'plain',  target: ['production', 'preview'],  },  ],  });   console.log('Environment variables added:', envResponse.created);  } catch (error) {  console.error(  error instanceof Error ? `Error: ${error.message}` : String(error),  );  } }  setupProjectWithGitHub();
