I really, really need a way to manage Bitrise apps using a public API. We have a large amount of apps (300+) and it is impossible to create/maintain them manually. The perfect scenario would be a API endpoint where I can send the app information (name, repository, scheme, etc) and also send the workflow. Does not need to have the full features like the dashboard, just the basic to get a app and workflow up and running. thanks ---

Thanks for the #feature-request @Felipe-Banno, awesome idea, definitely planned! 😉 ---

Implementation note: this endpoint would **skip** the scanner; it’s required to supply a (valid) `bitrise.yml` (or JSON, as we use a JSON compatible subset of YML for `bitrise.yml`) as part of the request body to create an app. ---

Any news on this? We really need this api call to create an app. If we want to switch completely to Bitrise…😃 ---

Hmm… I’ll create a task to add more details to the [https://devcenter.bitrise.io/api/v0.1/#post-appsregister](https://devcenter.bitrise.io/api/v0.1/#post-appsregister) endpoint. ---

We have 150+ apps, it is hardly to attach them manually. I required this same kind of API to create project, create incoming and outgoing hooks and all setup as `bitrise.yml` does. Let me know what is the development status of this API. ---

I would also like to know the status of this. We would really like to create a new project using some sort of API or CLI tool (given a bitrise.yml file). The 0.1 API docs do not mention such a functionality. Any news, @viktorbenei ? ---

Hi @matthias.buchetics! We feel you! We’re not at liberty to provide an ETA just yet, but I can tell you that this is currently in the works! 🙂 ---

Hi @gauravds! Unfortunately not. What we’re working on is more specifically this: [Create a new app via Bitrise CLI](http://discuss.bitrise.io/t/create-a-new-app-via-bitrise-cli/8216)
