How do I add a Sprint using the Rest API

Within the Azure DevOps Rest API I want to be able to add a Sprint programmatically.

I'm having trouble understanding how to accomplish this because it seems the documentation states I needed id before I can add at iteration.

Can someone please help me to understand what request I need to compose to create a new iteration via the API?

The id that you need to provide in the body is the Classification Node Identifier, you can fetch the list from this API:

GET https://dev.azure.com/{organization}/{project}/_apis/wit/classificationnodes/{stractureGroup}/{path}?api-version=5.1

The structreGroup is Areas or Iterations (in your case it should be Iterations).

In the response you will get a identifier property with a GUID, use this GUID for the id in the create iteration API.
