In addition to Sushant details; I recommend you to do it in a try-catch block to avoid any issues.

Please refer to following link which shares details on Creating a Thing in Service Script

I hope it helps.

Hi Ju Bin, you can create things programmatically and for that you can use the EntityService from System > Resources

So for creating n number of Things you could call that CreateThing services in a loop.

Hope this helps.

    Another recommendation would be to do it in blocks ( 100 by 100 or alike ), why? Creating long lasting transactions it's a bad choice in TW. To do this, you will have to create a timer which triggers the Creation Services, and on each trigger consume like a hundred.

      Thanks Carles, that's quite an important note.
