# Create project transfer request

```http
POST /projects/{idOrName}/transfer-request
```

Initiates a project transfer request from one team to another. <br/> Returns a `code` that remains valid for 24 hours and can be used to accept the transfer request by another team using the `PUT /projects/transfer-request/:code` endpoint. <br/> Users can also accept the project transfer request using the claim URL: `https://vercel.com/claim-deployment?code=<code>&returnUrl=<returnUrl>`. <br/> The `code` parameter specifies the project transfer request code generated using this endpoint. <br/> The `returnUrl` parameter redirects users to a specific page of the application if the claim URL is invalid or expired.
