  "error": "Name is required and must be a non-empty string"
}

404 Not Found

​
Use Cases

​
1. Create Multiple Tokensets

const categories = ['Colors', 'Typography', 'Spacing', 'Shadows'];

for (const category of categories) {
  await createTokenset(workspaceId, {
    name: category,
    description: `${category} tokens`
  });
}

​
2. Create with Default Mode

After creating a tokenset, you may want to create modes: 
const tokenset = await createTokenset(workspaceId, {
  name: 'Colors'
});

// Create light and dark modes
await createMode(tokenset.id, { name: 'Light', is_default: true });
await createMode(tokenset.id, { name: 'Dark' });
