Programmatically create a new docType

[Never_You_Mind]

Is it possible to create a new docType programmatically?

Basically i have a CSV file being dropped in and from this i want to create a new docType and then import the data into a new document of the new docType.

The CSV file from time to time will be different, so each new CSV file will be a new docType

Any guidance would be appreciated

Creating doctype through Frappe API?

I have a use case where I need to run a lot migrations (doctypes) and doing it manually takes time. Is there a way where I can just hit frappe apis (or desk apis) to create the doctype ? I am currently playing around with this api - /api/method/frappe.desk.form.save.savedocs . But I run into some request validations error (417) and since there is no documentation on the api, it is becoming very difficult to debug. If someone has tried this out, please let me know. Thanks in advance.

I am currently working around my problem, i have CSV with 120 fields, where i wanted to create a docType for the CSV.

I couldn’t find a way to do this via APIs so ended up creating the docType files (json etc) via script and applying it to the app and used bench command “reload-docType” to sync with the DB

that’s my current workaround until i find APIs to create docTypes!!
