Note: Support for this method is temporarily disabled until we support user-level permissions. You can still make this call, but you must include your application secret.

Create a new object.

[edit] Parameters

Type Name Description
string api_key The application key associated with the calling application.
string session_key The session key of the logged in user. This parameter is no longer required for this method.
float call_id The request's sequence number. Each successive call for any session must use a sequence number greater than the last. We suggest using the current time in milliseconds, such as PHP's microtime(true) function.
string sig An MD5 hash of the current request and your secret key, as described in the authentication guide.
string v This must be set to 1.0 to use this version of the API.
string format Optional - desired response format. Either "XML" (default) or "JSON".
string callback Optional - wrap the response inside a function call. This is primarily to enable cross-domain javascript requests using the <script> tag, sometimes known as "JSONP". This works with both XML and JSON.
string obj_type Specifies which type of new object to create.
map properties Optional - Name-value pairs of properties this new object has. The parameters must be JSON encoded with double quoted property and value, i.e. {"name":"value"}

Leave JSON strings for Test Console. Client library gets array.

[edit] PHP Client Coding Example

<?php

// Create array using array statement
$data = array("name"=>"value");
// Or define a property value
$data['name2'] = "value2";

// Get object id. You can't retrive object unless you know its id. So you MUST get it and save.
$obj = $facebook->api_client->data_createObject('tablename',$data);
// Set association between created object and logged in user to store object id
$facebook->api_client->data_setAssociation('assocname', $user, $obj);

?>

[edit] Return Value

64-bit integer: Numeric identifier (fbid) of newly created object.
