# Create an Elastic Endpoint rule exception list

- Server: `https://{kibana_url}`

## Paths

- `POST` `/api/endpoint_list`
- `POST` `/s/{space_id}/api/endpoint_list`

## Description

Refer to [Spaces](https://www.elastic.co/docs/deploy-manage/manage-spaces) for more information.

Create the exception list for Elastic Endpoint rule exceptions. When you create the exception list, it will have a `list_id` of `endpoint_list`. If the Elastic Endpoint exception list already exists, your request will return an empty response.

## Authentication

- Api key: `Authorization: <value>`
  These APIs use key-based authentication. You must create an API key and use the encoded value in the request header. For example: `Authorization: ApiKey base64AccessApiKey`
- Basic: `Authorization: Basic <credentials>`
