# Network Search/Create

Get or create a Wi-Fi Motion network in App Cloud. The BSSID is shared with Core when the network first comes online.

This endpoint verifies the existence of the user's network in Core and if it's claimable. If the network is present in Core, but not in App Cloud, the network is created.

Calling this endpoint has one of the following outcomes:

-   Network not found in MNS Core (404)
-   Network found, already in App Cloud and returned (200)
-   Network found, not in App Cloud, created, and returned (200)

In the response object,  tells you whether the network has an owner.  

If  is false, the network can be claimed by calling /api/v1/network_memberships. If  is true, the user can only be added as a member.
