slyd API error

[eng1neer]

Looks like the docs out there are outdated: https://github.com/scrapinghub/portia/tree/master/slyd

After running Portia on Docker, I was able to execute GET projects API request:

localhost:9001/api/projects

However when trying to add a new project:

curl -d '{"cmd": "create", "args": ["project_X"]}' http://localhost:9001/api/projects

It errors:

TypeError at /api/projects
create() takes exactly 1 argument (2 given)
Request Method: POST
Request URL:    http://localhost:9001/api/projects
Django Version: 1.10.1
Exception Type: TypeError
Exception Value:

 '/usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages',
 '/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages']

I tried to change the payload (and even no payload at all), the error is the same.
