## Make your first API request

This section provides you the instructions to use the [Create Attribute](https://developer.fabric.inc/v3/product-catalog/api-reference/product-catalog/attributes/create-attribute) endpoint. With this endpoint, you can create attributes that can be assigned to a product or category.

### Prerequisites:

- Generate the access token by following the instructions in the [Getting Started with fabric APIs](https://developer.fabric.inc/v3/getting-started/api-guides/getting-started-with-fabric-apis).
- Get the `x-fabric-tenant-id` by following the instructions in the [Getting the Account ID](https://developer.fabric.inc/v3/platform/settings/account-details/getting-the-account-id).

### Procedure

1. Open your preferred API testing tool or command-line interface.
2. To run the following API call, set the following headers in the request with the corresponding values and add the payload as in the example:
   - `x-fabric-tenant-id`: Replace `<Tenant-Id>` with your fabric tenant ID.
   - `Authorization`: Replace `<Generated-access-token>` with the access token obtained from the previous steps.
   - `Content-Type`: Set this header to `application/json`.

```
   curl --location 'https://api.fabric.inc/v3/product-attributes' \
   --header 'x-fabric-tenant-id: <Tenant-Id>' \
   --header 'Authorization: <Generated-access-token>' \
   --header 'Content-Type: application/json' \
   --data '{
      "name": "20063",
      "localizedProperties": {
         "en-US": {
               "name": "demo_en_us_attribute"
         }
      },
      "description": "Demo_attribute",
      "type": "TEXT",
      "target": "PRODUCT",
      "isLocalizable": false,
      "validation": {
         "isMandatory": false,
         "subType": "SMALL_TEXT",
         "customValidationFormula": ""
      }
   }'
   ```

Note that this payload is an example. You can edit it as required.
3. Send a POST request to the `https://api.fabric.inc/v3/product-attributes` endpoint.

A response with the status code 200 is returned with the following information:

```
   {
      "id": "",
      "name": "",
      "description": "",
      "isLocalizable": ,
      "target": "",
