# Create a config pool

`POST https://api.cryptohopper.com/v1/hopper/{id}/config/pool`

Part of [Bot config](https://www.cryptohopper.com/api-documentation/api-reference/bot-config.md) in the Cryptohopper API reference.

Creates a config pool for the hopper: a set of coins with its own config settings.

OAuth scope: `read`, `manage`

selected_coins must be an array; any other value creates the pool without coins. Not available for AI Bots.
