Is it possible to create a site collection using the SharePoint Online REST api?

I found some old notes about using admin.asmx in 2007/2010/2013 but I can't find anything related to SharePoint online or if it still exists.

An example URL would be amazing if it's possible.

SharePoint Online Rest API provide endpoint to create a sub site but not site collection, see my reply in the similiar thread:

Create the site collection using ECMAScript, JSOM Or Rest API

And web service http://CentralAdmin/_vti_adm/Admin.asmx is not suitable for SharePoint Online, as there is no CA for SPO, this is for On-Premise Environment.

You could use PnP PowerShell New-PnPSite Command to create a site collection instead:

New-PnPSite
