Honeycomb Dataset Definitions API

Dataset definitions describe the fields with special meaning in the Dataset. Refer to the [Dataset Definitions](https://docs.honeycomb.io/configure/datasets/definitions/) documentation for more information. **Honeycomb automatically creates these Dataset definition fields when the Dataset is created.** Manual creation of Dataset definitions is **not** needed. ## Authorization The API key must have the **Create Datasets** permission. Learn more about [API keys here](https://docs.honeycomb.io/configure/environments/manage-api-keys/).
