Create an X List

x_list_create — Create a List owned by the account on X (name ≤ 25, description ≤ 100, private by default).

x_list_create · Write on X (creates a job)

Create a List owned by the account on X (name ≤ 25, description ≤ 100, private by default).

Input

Field	Type	Required	Description
`account`	string (1–100 chars)	Yes	The X account to use: its X-Buddy account_id (from account_list) or its @handle. Ambiguous names return candidates instead of guessing.
`name`	string (1–25 chars)	Yes
`description`	string (0–100 chars)	No
`private`	boolean	No

Result

Creates a job for the X account's VPS. REST waits up to wait seconds (default 15, max 20): when done it returns 200 with the result, otherwise 202 with Location: /api/public/v1/jobs/{job_id}. The final status is succeeded, failed, cancelled or unknown.

Needs an idempotency key (Idempotency-Key, 8–128 characters). Retrying with the same key never repeats the action.

A job that ends unknown may already have happened on X: never resend it with a new idempotency key.
