Hi there,
So with category creation everything is ok.
But problem with ptoduct.
I creating products using this code:

// start snipet
foreach ($info as $row) {


    $product = $this->productRepository->create([
        'type' => 'simple',
        'attribute_family_id' => 1,
        'sku' => $this->createSku($row)
    ]);


    $channel = $this->getCurrentChannel();
    $data['channel'] = $channel->id;

    $data['channels'] = [
        0 => $channel->id,
    ];
    $data['locale'] = 'en';//$this->getCurrentLocale()->code;
    $data['url_key'] = $row['url'];
    $data['status'] = true;
    $data['product_number'] = $row['vendor_code'];
    $data['weight'] = $row['weight'];
    $data['price'] = $row['price_in'];

    if ($brand = Attribute::where(['code' => 'brand'])->first()) {
        $data['brand'] = AttributeOption::where(['attribute_id' => $brand->id])->firstOrCreate(['admin_name' => $row['brand'], 'attribute_id' => $brand->id])->id ?? '';
    }

    $inventorySource = $channel->inventory_sources[0];
    $data['inventories'] = [
        $inventorySource->id => DEF_QTY,
    ];

    $data['categories'] = [];
    foreach ($row['tids'] as $tid) {
        $legacyCategoryLink = LegacyCategoryLink::where('tid', $tid)->first();
        if ($legacyCategoryLink && $legacyCategoryLink->category_id) {
            $data['categories'][] = $legacyCategoryLink->category_id;
        }
    }

    /**
     * this part not stored in DB
     */
    $data['cost'] = $row['price'];
    $data['meta_title'] = $row['meta_title'];
    $data['meta_description'] = $row['meta_description'];
    $data['name'] = $row['title'];
    $data['short_description'] = $row['desc1'];
    $data['description'] = $row['desc2'];
    /**
     * end
     */

    $updated = $this->productRepository->update($data, $product->id);
    Event::dispatch('catalog.product.update.after', $product);

}


/// end snippet

So almost works correctly, with the exception of part market as "not stored in DB"
Looks like problem with attributes which can have different values depending of locales or channels.

Can anyone suggest a correct example of saving these values: name, short_description, description, meta_description, meta_title, cost.

Thanks.

Hi there.
Thanks for response.
I checked code. It's the same as v1.4.5. I didn't make any changes, only in my package.

I found the data is stored in DB with correct (which I pass to the script) location and channel. But they don't show up in the admin panel.

@alggan4 said in How to create category and product programmatically.:

$data['channel'] = $channel->id;

here must be
$data['channel'] = $channel->code;

p.s.
and don't forget that url_key shouldn't contain "/"

thanks to all
