# Create a catalog entry

> Creates a catalog entry, as New in the Catalog: a `destino` (a country, city or zone), a place (`punto`), accommodation (`alojamiento`, which needs a Google `placeId`), an activity (`actividad`) or a service (`servicio`).

`POST /v1/catalog/entities`

Creates a catalog entry, as New in the Catalog: a `destino` (a country, city or zone), a place (`punto`), accommodation (`alojamiento`, which needs a Google `placeId`), an activity (`actividad`) or a service (`servicio`). Put it in the tree with `content.partOf` (the parent's id). An entry of the same kind for the same Google place, or with the same `externalId`, is a 409 naming the existing one (`existingId`) — update that one instead. Images are added after, with the entry's image upload. Undo with POST /changes/{changeId}/revert (a soft delete, while nobody has edited it).

`content` fields by kind — use exactly these names; an unknown field is refused. `text` fields accept plain text (one paragraph per line). `partOf` is the parent entry's id: a `punto` hangs from a `destino`; nothing hangs from a `punto`.
Every kind also takes: category: string, features: string[], altNames: string[], estado: borrador|migrado|revisado|publicado|obsoleto, verifiedAt: string (pattern)|null, source: string, reviewNotes: string.
