@facine I love you :-*

Hi, small errors in create_taxonomy_term.php :

(...)
  'weight' => -1,
  'parent' => array (0)
(...)

Many thanks :-)

Great work! Thanks for the help. Just so you know, as of Drupal 8.3.x, REQUEST_TIME has been deprecated. They ask use now to use \Drupal::time()->getRequestTime().

How do I add a taxonomy term to an image?

Thanks for the gist. I'm new to Drupal 8 (not php), but I copied create_node.php into a file and tried to run it. I'm getting the following error.

Fatal error: Uncaught Error: Class 'Drupal\node\Entity\Node' not found in /var/www/html/drupal/web/load_it.php:6 Stack trace: #0 {main} thrown in /var/www/html/drupal/web/load_it.php on line 6

Line 6:
$node = Node::create([

The function I want to access (create) seems to be in core/lib/Drupal/Core/Entity/entity.php

So I'm confused, thanks.

I'm so late, but did you put use Drupal\node\Entity\Node; at the top of your PHP file?
