==== Request body
The request body can contain either a single parameter object or an array of parameter objects. The parameter object schema includes the following attributes:
`key`::
(Required, string) The key of the parameter.
`value`::
(Required, string) The value associated with the parameter.
`description`::
(Optional, string) A description of the parameter.
`tags`::
(Optional, array of strings) An array of tags to categorize the parameter.

==== Example
Here are examples of POST requests to add parameters, either as a single parameter or as an array of parameters:
To add a single parameter:
[source,sh]
--------------------------------------------------
POST /api/synthetics/params
{
"key": "your-key-name",
"value": "your-parameter-value",
"description": "Param to use in browser monitor",
"tags": ["authentication", "security"],
"share_across_spaces": true
}
--------------------------------------------------
To add multiple parameters:
[source,sh]
--------------------------------------------------
POST /api/synthetics/params
[
{
"key": "param1",
"value": "value1"
},
{
"key": "param2",
"value": "value2"
}
]
--------------------------------------------------
The API returns a response based on the request. If you added a single parameter, it will return a single parameter object. If you added multiple parameters, it will return an array of parameter objects.
[[parameters-add-response-example]]
==== Response Example
The API response includes the created parameter(s) as JSON objects, where each parameter object has the following attributes:
- `id` (string): The unique identifier of the parameter.
- `key` (string): The key of the parameter.
- `value` (string): The value associated with the parameter.
- `description` (string, optional): The description of the parameter.
- `tags` (array of strings, optional): An array of tags associated with the parameter.
- `share_across_spaces` (boolean, optional): Indicates whether the parameter is shared across spaces.
Here's an example response for a single added parameter:
[source,json]

{
"id": "unique-parameter-id",
"key": "your-key-name",
"value": "your-param-value",
"description": "Param to use in browser monitor",
"tags": ["authentication", "security"],
"share_across_spaces": true
}
--------------------------------------------------
And here's an example response for adding multiple parameters:
[source,json]
--------------------------------------------------
[
{
"id": "param1-id",
"key": "param1",
"value": "value1"
},
{
"id": "param2-id",
"key": "param2",
"value": "value2"
}
]
