# Create ACF Object Using REST API

 * In this documentation: [https://www.advancedcustomfields.com/resources/wp-rest-api-integration/#request-methods](https://www.advancedcustomfields.com/resources/wp-rest-api-integration/#request-methods)
   it mentions three REST methods:
    - GET to view data
    - OPTIONS to request schema
    - POST to update ACF fields
 * The POST method requires an ID of an already-created object – `{ID}` in the following:
 *     ```wp-block-code
       apiFetch( {
         path: '/wp/v2/book/{ID}',
       ```
   
 * But what if I don’t already have an ID? Is it possible to create a new ACF object(
   a new book in this case) instead of modifying an existing one? I want to populate
   my site with a bunch of historical data, and the API seems like the easiest way
   to do that, but only if I can create new objects.
