# Create Miscategorization
POST/accounts/{account\_id}/intel/miscategorization
Allows you to submit requests to change a domain’s category.
Requests that include category `169` (New Domains) or category `177` (Newly Seen) in any of `content_adds`, `content_removes`, `security_adds`, or `security_removes` will be rejected with a `400 Bad Request`. These categories are automatically managed and fall off 30 days after they are applied.
