### Creating a new site
Send a `POST` request to the site list endpoint with token authentication and JSON-formatted data. Only mandatory fields are required.
Send a `POST` request to the site list endpoint with token authentication and JSON-formatted data. Only mandatory fields are required. This example includes one non required field, "region."

Note that in this example we are creating a site bound to a region with the ID of 5. For write api actions (`POST`, `PUT`, and `PATCH`) the integer ID value is for `ForeignKey` (related model) relationships, instead of the nested representation that is used in the `GET` action.
### Creating a new site with an existing region
Send a `POST` rquest as before to the site list endpoint, but this time include a value for an existing region.
```
$ curl -X POST -H "Authorization: Token d2f763479f703d80de0ec15254237bc651f9cdc0" -H "Content-Type: application/json" -H "Accept: application/json; indent=4" http://localhost:8000/api/dcim/sites/ --data '{"name": "My New Site", "slug": "my-new-site"}'

"facility": "",
"asn": null,

"shipping_address": "",
