I want to create an activity inside a case. I can create a case using $result = civicrm_api3('case', 'create', $params); But how do I pass the case id in the api which creates an Activity. To create Activity I am using: civicrm_api('Activity', 'create', $activityparam);

Can you edit the question and put the code (including activityparam)– XavierCommented May 27, 2015 at 8:52

The param you are looking for is case_id which can be used like:
civicrm_api3('Activity', 'create', array(
'subject' => 'Hello',
'case_id' => 123,
...
));

This works. Thanks. Where should have I looked for to find that key 'case_id' ?– M SivaniCommented May 28, 2015 at 5:02

Hmm you're right that param seems a bit hidden. I think it needs to be added to the
_civicrm_api3_activity_create_specfunction so it will be visible in the api explorer. Here I've created a PR to add it.– ColemanCommented May 28, 2015 at 13:37
you don't have to create an Activity because we already have a table called civicrm_case_activity. Which links the case Id against the new activity created and you can also view the activity against CiviCase Dashboard. I guess this helps!!!

Not sure if you are considering the need that I want to create an Activity using API in my custom module. I do not see any parameter key in civicrm_api('Activity', 'create', $activityparam); to pass the case id.– M SivaniCommented May 27, 2015 at 9:11

yes, you cannot pass case Id while creating the activity but you can create an activity and make a entry in civicrm_case_activity which will link the created activity again the case Id. Commented May 27, 2015 at 9:54
