Create custom object using Apex Metadata API

Hello,

Is it possible to create a custom object using Apex Metadata API? I wasn't able to find any code example about this quite recent API.

Note that I am creating it right now by making a callout to the Metadata API, but am wondering if there is a better way.

Thanks,
Laurent

Hey Laurent,

Yes it is possible to create the custom object using Metadata API.

Refer this link ;- https://developer.salesforce.com/forums/?id=906F0000000AhDtIAK

If it helps, kindly mark it as the best answer.

Hi Priya,

This is using the callout to the Metadata API, which I am already using. I'm looking for a way to use the new Apex Metadata API.

I can't find apropriate class in Metadata Namespace (https://developer.salesforce.com/docs/atlas.en-us.apexref.meta/apexref/apex_namespace_Metadata.htm) so I'd assume it's not achievable so far.
