# Service accounts

> Every published service accounts operation, generated from the contract.

6 operations on `client.service_accounts`.

Path parameters come first, positionally; the request body is last, as a plain
object. Method names are `snake_case` in Python and `camelCase` in
TypeScript, and resource names follow the same rule.

<CodeGroup>
  ```python Python theme={null}
  result = client.service_accounts.create(body)
  ```

  ```typescript TypeScript theme={null}
  const result = await client.serviceAccounts.create(body);
  ```
</CodeGroup>
