You can specify different types in different create calls, but each create call must apply to only one type of object. ### Limitations This call has the following limitations: * A maximum of 50 objects are supported in a single call. * The Orders feature is not supported. * The Invoice Settlement feature is not supported. This feature includes Unapplied Payments, Credit and Debit Memo, and Invoice Item Settlement. * The default WSDL version for Actions is 79. To create objects according to a different WSDL version, set the `X-Zuora-WSDL-Version` header. To find out in which WSDL version a particular object or field was introduced, see [Zuora SOAP API Version History](https://knowledgecenter.zuora.com/DC_Developers/G_SOAP_API/Zuora_SOAP_API_Version_History). ### How to use this call You can create on an array of one or more zObjects. The fields you should specify can be found in the corresponding "CRUD: Create an *zObject*" operation. For example, to create one or multiple accounts, use the request fields in the [CRUD: Create an account](https://developer.zuora.com/api-references/older-api/operation/Object_POSTAccount/) operation. It returns an array of SaveResults sorted in the same order, indicating the success or failure of creating each object. The following information applies to this call: * You cannot pass in null zObjects. * You can pass in a maximum of 50 zObjects at a time. * All objects must be of the same type. #### Using Create and Subscribe Calls Both the Create and Subscribe calls will create a new account. However, there are differences between the calls. Use the create call to create an account independent of a subscription. Use the subscribe call to create the account with the subscription and the initial payment information. Reference: https://zuora.ferndocs.com/developers/api-reference/zuora-api/general-purpose-operations/actions/action-pos-tcreate ## Authentication - `Authorization` header (bearer token, required) — Use `Bearer {{token}}` in the `Authorization` header for authentication. ## Servers - `https://rest.test.zuora.com` (US Developer & Central Sandbox (incl. Test Drive), default) - `https://rest.sandbox.na.zuora.com` (US API Sandbox Cloud 1) - `https://rest.apisandbox.zuora.com` (US API Sandbox Cloud 2) - `https://rest.na.zuora.com` (US Production Cloud 1) - `https://rest.zuora.com` (US Production Cloud 2) - `https://rest.test.eu.zuora.com` (EU Developer & Central Sandbox) - `https://rest.sandbox.eu.zuora.com` (EU API Sandbox) - `https://rest.eu.zuora.com` (EU Production) - `https://rest.test.ap.zuora.com` (APAC Developer & Central Sandbox) - `https://rest.ap.zuora.com` (APAC Production) ## Request ### Query parameters - `rejectUnknownFields` (boolean, optional, default: false) — Specifies whether the call fails if the request body contains unknown fields. With `rejectUnknownFields` set to `true`, Zuora returns a 400 response if the request body contains unknown fields. The body of the 400 response is: ```json { "message": "Error - unrecognised fields" } ``` By default, Zuora ignores unknown fields in the request body. ### Headers - `Idempotency-Key` (string, optional) — Specify a unique idempotency key if you want to perform an idempotent POST or PATCH request. Do not use this header in other request types. With this header specified, the Zuora server can identify subsequent retries of the same request using this value, which prevents the same operation from being performed multiple times by accident. - `Accept-Encoding` (string, optional) — Include the `Accept-Encoding: gzip` header to compress responses as a gzipped file. It can significantly reduce the bandwidth required for a response. If specified, Zuora automatically compresses responses that contain over 1000 bytes of data, and the response contains a `Content-Encoding` header with the compression algorithm so that your client can decompress it. - `Content-Encoding` (string, optional) — Include the `Content-Encoding: gzip` header to compress a request. With this header specified, you should upload a gzipped file for the request payload instead of sending the JSON payload. - `Zuora-Entity-Ids` (string, optional) — An entity ID. If you have [Zuora Multi-entity](https://knowledgecenter.zuora.com/BB_Introducing_Z_Business/Multi-entity) enabled and the OAuth token is valid for more than one entity, you must use this header to specify which entity to perform the operation in. If the OAuth token is only valid for a single entity, or you do not have Zuora Multi-entity enabled, you should not set this header. - `Zuora-Org-Ids` (string, optional) — Comma separated IDs. If you have Zuora Multi-Org enabled, you can use this header to specify which orgs to perform the operation in. If you do not have Zuora Multi-Org enabled, you should not set this header. The IDs must be a sub-set of the user's accessible orgs. If you specify an org that the user does not have access to, the operation fails. This header is important in Multi-Org (MO) setups because it defines the organization context under which the API should operate—mainly used for read access or data visibility filtering. If the header is not set, the operation is performed in scope of the user's accessible orgs. - `Zuora-Track-Id` (string, optional) — A custom identifier for tracing the API call. If you set a value for this header, Zuora returns the same value in the response headers. This header enables you to associate your system process identifiers with Zuora API calls, to assist with troubleshooting in the event of an issue. The value of this field must use the US-ASCII character set and must not include any of the following characters: colon (`:`), semicolon (`;`), double quote (`"`), and quote (`'`). - `X-Zuora-WSDL-Version` (string, optional, default: 79) — Zuora WSDL version number. - `Zuora-Version` (string, optional) — The minor API version. For a list of available minor versions, see [API upgrades](https://developer.zuora.com/v1-api-reference/api-upgrades/). ### Body (application/json) This endpoint expects a ProxyActioncreateRequest. - `objects` (list of zObject, required) - `type` (string, required) ## Response ### 200 OK - `list of SaveResult` ## Errors ### 401 Unauthorized Error Unauthorized - `message` (string, optional) — Error message. If the error message is "Authentication error", ensure that the `Authorization` request header contains valid authentication credentials, then retry the request. See [Authentication](https://developer.zuora.com/docs/guides/authentication/) for more information. If the error message is "Failed to get user info", retry the request. ## Types ### zObject ### SaveResult - `Errors` (list of ActionsErrorResponse, optional) - `Id` (string, optional) - `Success` (boolean, optional) ### ActionsErrorResponse - `Code` (string, optional) - `Message` (string, optional) ## Examples **Request** ```json { "objects": [ { "BillCycleDay": 1, "Currency": "USD", "Name": "Amy Lawrence", "Status": "Draft" } ], "type": "Account" } ``` **Response** ```json [ { "Id": "2c93808457d787030157e0324aea5158", "Success": true } ] ``` **SDK Code** ```python response import requests url = "https://rest.test.zuora.com/v1/action/create" payload = { "objects": [ { "BillCycleDay": 1, "Currency": "USD", "Name": "Amy Lawrence", "Status": "Draft" } ], "type": "Account" } headers = { "Authorization": "Bearer ", "Content-Type": "application/json" } response = requests.post(url, json=payload, headers=headers) print(response.json()) ``` ```javascript response const url = 'https://rest.test.zuora.com/v1/action/create'; const options = { method: 'POST', headers: {Authorization: 'Bearer ', 'Content-Type': 'application/json'}, body: '{"objects":[{"BillCycleDay":1,"Currency":"USD","Name":"Amy Lawrence","Status":"Draft"}],"type":"Account"}' }; try { const response = await fetch(url, options); const data = await response.json(); console.log(data); } catch (error) { console.error(error); } ``` ```go response package main import ( "fmt" "strings" "net/http" "io" ) func main() { url := "https://rest.test.zuora.com/v1/action/create" payload := strings.NewReader("{\n \"objects\": [\n {\n \"BillCycleDay\": 1,\n \"Currency\": \"USD\",\n \"Name\": \"Amy Lawrence\",\n \"Status\": \"Draft\"\n }\n ],\n \"type\": \"Account\"\n}") req, _ := http.NewRequest("POST", url, payload) req.Header.Add("Authorization", "Bearer ") req.Header.Add("Content-Type", "application/json") res, _ := http.DefaultClient.Do(req) defer res.Body.Close() body, _ := io.ReadAll(res.Body) fmt.Println(res) fmt.Println(string(body)) } ``` ```ruby response require 'uri' require 'net/http' url = URI("https://rest.test.zuora.com/v1/action/create") http = Net::HTTP.new(url.host, url.port) http.use_ssl = true request = Net::HTTP::Post.new(url) request["Authorization"] = 'Bearer ' request["Content-Type"] = 'application/json' request.body = "{\n \"objects\": [\n {\n \"BillCycleDay\": 1,\n \"Currency\": \"USD\",\n \"Name\": \"Amy Lawrence\",\n \"Status\": \"Draft\"\n }\n ],\n \"type\": \"Account\"\n}" response = http.request(request) puts response.read_body ``` ```java response import com.mashape.unirest.http.HttpResponse; import com.mashape.unirest.http.Unirest; HttpResponse response = Unirest.post("https://rest.test.zuora.com/v1/action/create") .header("Authorization", "Bearer ") .header("Content-Type", "application/json") .body("{\n \"objects\": [\n {\n \"BillCycleDay\": 1,\n \"Currency\": \"USD\",\n \"Name\": \"Amy Lawrence\",\n \"Status\": \"Draft\"\n }\n ],\n \"type\": \"Account\"\n}") .asString(); ``` ```php response request('POST', 'https://rest.test.zuora.com/v1/action/create', [ 'body' => '{ "objects": [ { "BillCycleDay": 1, "Currency": "USD", "Name": "Amy Lawrence", "Status": "Draft" } ], "type": "Account" }', 'headers' => [ 'Authorization' => 'Bearer ', 'Content-Type' => 'application/json', ], ]); echo $response->getBody(); ``` ```csharp response using RestSharp; var client = new RestClient("https://rest.test.zuora.com/v1/action/create"); var request = new RestRequest(Method.POST); request.AddHeader("Authorization", "Bearer "); request.AddHeader("Content-Type", "application/json"); request.AddParameter("application/json", "{\n \"objects\": [\n {\n \"BillCycleDay\": 1,\n \"Currency\": \"USD\",\n \"Name\": \"Amy Lawrence\",\n \"Status\": \"Draft\"\n }\n ],\n \"type\": \"Account\"\n}", ParameterType.RequestBody); IRestResponse response = client.Execute(request); ``` ```swift response import Foundation let headers = [ "Authorization": "Bearer ", "Content-Type": "application/json" ] let parameters = [ "objects": [ [ "BillCycleDay": 1, "Currency": "USD", "Name": "Amy Lawrence", "Status": "Draft" ] ], "type": "Account" ] as [String : Any] let postData = JSONSerialization.data(withJSONObject: parameters, options: []) let request = NSMutableURLRequest(url: NSURL(string: "https://rest.test.zuora.com/v1/action/create")! as URL, cachePolicy: .useProtocolCachePolicy, timeoutInterval: 10.0) request.httpMethod = "POST" request.allHTTPHeaderFields = headers request.httpBody = postData as Data let session = URLSession.shared let dataTask = session.dataTask(with: request as URLRequest, completionHandler: { (data, response, error) -> Void in if (error != nil) { print(error as Any) } else { let httpResponse = response as?
