Traceback

new_item = [{ 'itemType': "book", 'title': "Test du vendredi", } ] zot.create_items(new_item, "C5U3MI63") code goes here, indented with four spaces

Your example code creates a child item, it does not add an item to a collection.

You haven't specified what C5U3MI63 is – is it a collection ID?

If it's a collection ID, you would have to do this instead:

new_item = [{ 'itemType': "book", 'title': "Test du vendredi", } ]
result = zot.create_items(new_item)
zot.addto_collection("C5U3MI63", result[0])

Yes. Thanks. I thought a child item means an item added to a collection.
