How to create collection through the Blender Python API

To create a new collection in the scene using the Blender Python API, we need to execute the following:

import bpy

collection = bpy.context.blend_data.collections.new(name='new_collection')
bpy.context.collection.children.link(collection)

import bpy

collection = bpy.context.blend_data.collections.new(name='new_collection')

bpy.context.collection.children.link(collection)

In the first line, we create a new collection with the “new_collection” name.

In the second line, we add it to the scene’s collection system under the current active collection.
