Correct formatting to Create Project using REST API in Scriptrunner

Question

I'm trying to create a script that creates a project as a post-function in Scriptrunner Cloud.  I'm using the REST API, but I'm getting 400 errors because of some minor change I need to do.  Code snippet is below.  What am I missing?

def result = post("/rest/api/2/project")
.header('Content-Type', 'application/json')
.body([
key: newProjectKey,
name: newProjectName,
projectTypeKey: newProjectTypeKey,
projectTemplateKey: newProjectTemplateKey,
leadAccountId: newLeadAccountId
])
.asObject(Map)
if (result.status == 201) {
return 'Success'
} else {
return "${result.status}: ${result.body}"
}

What am I missing?  Thanks in advance!

I can confirm the Rest API you used is correct. Perhaps, you want to programmatically retrieve the account id with email like so:

def newLead = get("/rest/api/3/user/search")
  .header('Content-Type', 'application/json')
  .queryString("query", "xxx@example.com")
  .asObject(List)
  .body
  .first() as Map

def result = post("/rest/api/2/project")
  .header('Content-Type', 'application/json')
  .body([
    key: newProjectKey,
    name: newProjectName,
    projectTypeKey: newProjectTypeKey,
    projectTemplateKey: newProjectTemplateKey,
    leadAccountId: newLead.accountId
  ])
  .asObject(Map)

if (result.status == 201) {
  return 'Success'
} else {
  return "${result.status}: ${result.body}"
}

I think the main problem is leadAccountId.  I'm not using the correct format.  I think I have to use dot notation to get at accountId inside the field.
