How to create a simple product using SOAP api in magento2

Question

Here I have tried but I getting this error:

Fatal error: Uncaught SoapFault exception: [env:Sender] %fieldName is a required field.

require('vendor/zendframework/zend-server/src/Client.php');
require('vendor/zendframework/zend-soap/src/Client.php');
require('vendor/zendframework/zend-soap/src/Client/Common.php');
$token = '6ge34qaj7ugklona2in8fmmig93qmblx';
$wsdlUrl = 'http://localhost/magento214/soap/default?wsdl&services=catalogProductRepositoryV1';
$opts = ['http'=> ['header' => "Authorization: Bearer " .$token]];
$context = stream_context_create($opts);
$soapClient  = new \Zend\Soap\Client($wsdlUrl);
$soapClient->setSoapVersion(SOAP_1_2);
$soapClient->setStreamContext($context);
      $productData = array(
        'sku'               => 'ZZ-TEST',
        'name'              => 'testproduct',
        'visibility'        => 4, /*'catalog',*/
        'type_id'           => 'simple',
        'price'             => 45,
        'status'            => 1,
        'attribute_set_id'  => 4,
        'weight'            => 1,
        'custom_attributes' => array(
            array( 'attribute_code' => 'category_ids', 'value' => ['3'] ),
            array( 'attribute_code' => 'description', 'value' => 'Simple Description' ),
            array( 'attribute_code' => 'short_description', 'value' => 'Simple  Short Description' ),
            )
    );
      $productData = json_encode(array('product' => $productData));
     //  print_r($productData);exit;
$result = $soapClient->catalogProductRepositoryV1save($productData);
var_dump($result);

The code below works.

Tested on Magento 2.1.4.

The error you received:

Fatal error: Uncaught SoapFault exception: [env:Sender] %fieldName is a required field.

was due to json_encodeing $productData. Magento simply could not find product fieldName.

You don't need to json_encode things and parameters should be typeId and attributeSetId.

require('vendor/zendframework/zend-server/src/Client.php');
require('vendor/zendframework/zend-soap/src/Client.php');
require('vendor/zendframework/zend-soap/src/Client/Common.php');
$token = 'qdst8d40dfdfdfdfd43r3ererenx26f';
$wsdlUrl = 'http://m214.domain.com/soap/default?wsdl&services=catalogProductRepositoryV1';
$opts = ['http'=> ['header' => "Authorization: Bearer " .$token]];
$context = stream_context_create($opts);
$soapClient  = new \Zend\Soap\Client($wsdlUrl);
$soapClient->setSoapVersion(SOAP_1_2);
$soapClient->setStreamContext($context);
  $productData = array(
    'sku'               => 'ZZ-TEST',
    'name'              => 'testproduct',
    'visibility'        => 4,
    'typeId'           => 'simple',
    'price'             => 45,
    'status'            => 1,
    'attributeSetId'  => '4',
    'weight'            => 1,
);
$result = $soapClient->catalogProductRepositoryV1save(array('product' => $productData));
var_dump($result);

Disclaimer: I could not make description, category_ids and short_description work though.
