# Create an object

POST https://api.cloudraker.com/spaces/{spaceId}/objects/{definitionId}
Content-Type: application/json

Creates one object of a definition within a space. Authorization: requires `space:contribute` on `:spaceId` — lacking it gives **403** (no `space:read` → 404). Body: `{ data, fieldMeta? }` — `data` is field values keyed by field key (validated against the definition via JSON Schema; defaults applied); optional `fieldMeta` accepts only `source`/`locked` per key. A `unique`-field collision returns 409 `duplicate_value` (with `fieldKey`); invalid data → 422 `validation_failed`. Returns 201 with `{ object }`.

Reference: https://docs.cloudraker.com/workspace/api/data-objects/create-object

## Authentication

- `Authorization` header (bearer token, required)

## Request

### Path parameters

- `spaceId` (string, required)
- `definitionId` (string, required)

### Body (application/json)

- `data` (map from string to any, required) — Field values keyed by field key.
- `fieldMeta` (map from string to map from string to any, optional) — Per-field metadata keyed by field key. Only `source` and `locked` are accepted.

## Response

### 201

The created object.

- `object` (object, required)
  - `_id` (string, required)
  - `spaceId` (string, required)
  - `definitionId` (string, required)
  - `definitionVersion` (double, required)
  - `data` (map from string to any, required) — Field values keyed by field key.
  - `fieldMeta` (map from string to object, required)
    - `modifiedBy` (string, required)
    - `modifiedAt` (datetime, required)
    - `source` (string, optional)
    - `locked` (boolean, optional) — A locked field refuses writes with 409.
  - `createdAt` (datetime, required)
  - `updatedAt` (datetime, required)
  - `createdBy` (string, required)
  - `updatedBy` (string, required)
  - `deletedAt` (datetime, required, nullable)
  - `provenance` (map from string to list of map from string to any, optional) — Per-field grounding: field key → citation pointers, imported verbatim from the extraction feed.
  - `review` (map from string to object, optional) — Per-field review state. An approved or rejected field is locked against edits.
    - `status` (enum, required)
      - Allowed values: `pending`, `approved`, `rejected`
    - `by` (string, required)
    - `at` (datetime, required)
    - `note` (string, optional)
  - `origin` (object, optional) — Set on create, never patchable.
    - `actionRunId` (string, optional)
    - `playbookRunId` (string, optional) — Set only when a playbook dispatched the run; callers cannot claim it.
