Creating release using Octopus rest API

Question

Please can anybody explain me how to create release using Octopus REST API.
I can create a release using octo.exe but have no idea how to do that using REST API.
I went through the http://localhost:8080/api, but cant figure it out how to create a release.

Is this REST api providing that feature??

I have not used Octopus myself, but as far as I understand you have to make an HTTP POST request to an URL like this:

http://localhost:8080/api/projects/1/releases

In your request body you specify the same parameters as you would do it using the command line tool but you have to encode them as JSON.
