# Creating a redirect

To create a redirect using the GraphQL API, you will need the following:

* [ ] The site id. Sent as the `input.siteId` variable.
* [ ] A valid [access token](https://docs.parameter1.com/basecms-graphql/introduction#logging-in). Include this as a `Bearer` authorization header.
* [ ] The old and new URLs. Sent as the `input.payload` variable.

The example below creates a redirect.
