This endpoint requires the [multi-organization account](https://docs.datadoghq.com/account_management/multi_organization.md) feature and must be enabled by [contacting support](https://docs.datadoghq.com/help/). Once a new child organization is created, you can interact with it by using the `org.public_id`, `api_key.key`, and `application_key.hash` provided in the response. This endpoint requires the `org_management` permission. ### Request #### Body Data (required) Organization object that needs to be created {% tab title="Model" %} | Parent field | Field | Type | Description | | ------------ | ---------------------- | ------ | ---------------------------------------------------------------------- | | | billing | object | **DEPRECATED**: A JSON array of billing type. | | billing | type | string | The type of billing.
