I want to know the best practice to create a dynamic field for the lead using API and that fields needs to be in relation with lead.

I see we can use the custom object and set attribute name, value and set relation with lead. But not sure how it works using API. Is there any other documentation available that can help?

I see the standard documentation of soap API but it's example doesn't work for me.

You can add custom fields to Leads through Admin - Field Management. There is no need ot create a new custom object just to have new cusrom fields.

@Breno Gomes, can we create a custom fields using API rather than in Admin -  Feild Management?

Only possible via UI. Currently you cannot create custom fields via APIs.
