Add new product in Magento through REST API - php

Question

I'm running Magento sample code for a REST API
(http://www.magentocommerce.com/api/rest/introduction.html)
I achieved a correct authentication, with an authentication token, and after the POST I got feedback of a correct upload with this message:
Array (
[url] => http://magentohost.pt/magento/api/rest/products
[http_code] => 200
[download_content_length] => 37
[content_type] => text/html
[size_download] => 37
[size_upload] => 250
)
However, the sent data doesn't appear in database/magento.
In any of the sample codes on the Magento API REST page, I get communication with the API but not the changes on products/customers data of the database.
What am I doing wrong ?

This is how you can create products using REST API
<?php
/**
* Example of simple product POST using Admin account via Magento REST API. OAuth authorization is used
*/
$callbackUrl = "http://yourhost/oauth_admin.php";
$temporaryCredentialsRequestUrl = "http://magentohost/oauth/initiate?oauth_callback=" . urlencode($callbackUrl);
$adminAuthorizationUrl = 'http://magentohost/admin/oauth_authorize';
$accessTokenRequestUrl = 'http://magentohost/oauth/token';
$apiUrl = 'http://magentohost/api/rest';
$consumerKey = 'yourconsumerkey';
$consumerSecret = 'yourconsumersecret';
session_start();
if (!isset($_GET['oauth_token']) && isset($_SESSION['state']) && $_SESSION['state'] == 1) {
$_SESSION['state'] = 0;
}
try {
$authType = ($_SESSION['state'] == 2) ? OAUTH_AUTH_TYPE_AUTHORIZATION : OAUTH_AUTH_TYPE_URI;
$oauthClient = new OAuth($consumerKey, $consumerSecret, OAUTH_SIG_METHOD_HMACSHA1, $authType);
$oauthClient->enableDebug();
if (!isset($_GET['oauth_token']) && !$_SESSION['state']) {
$requestToken = $oauthClient->getRequestToken($temporaryCredentialsRequestUrl);
$_SESSION['secret'] = $requestToken['oauth_token_secret'];
$_SESSION['state'] = 1;
header('Location: ' . $adminAuthorizationUrl . '?oauth_token=' . $requestToken['oauth_token']);
exit;
} else if ($_SESSION['state'] == 1) {
$oauthClient->setToken($_GET['oauth_token'], $_SESSION['secret']);
$accessToken = $oauthClient->getAccessToken($accessTokenRequestUrl);
$_SESSION['state'] = 2;
$_SESSION['token'] = $accessToken['oauth_token'];
$_SESSION['secret'] = $accessToken['oauth_token_secret'];
header('Location: ' . $callbackUrl);
exit;
} else {
$oauthClient->setToken($_SESSION['token'], $_SESSION['secret']);
$resourceUrl = "$apiUrl/products";
$productData = json_encode(array(
'type_id' => 'simple',
'attribute_set_id' => 4,
'sku' => 'simple' . uniqid(),
'weight' => 1,
'status' => 1,
'visibility' => 4,
'name' => 'Simple Product',
'description' => 'Simple Description',
'short_description' => 'Simple Short Description',
'price' => 99.95,
'tax_class_id' => 0,
));
$headers = array('Content-Type' => 'application/json');
$oauthClient->fetch($resourceUrl, $productData, OAUTH_HTTP_METHOD_POST, $headers);
print_r($oauthClient->getLastResponseInfo());
}
} catch (OAuthException $e) {
print_r($e);
}
