I resolved it, I used the API  
/api/v2/groups/{id}/hosts/

Details:  
**Step -1**  
[http://localhost/api/v2/groups/](http://localhost/api/v2/groups/)  
{  
“name”: “testGroup”,  
“description”: “”,  
“inventory”: inventory\_id,  
“variables”: "group\_var1: 9 "  
}

**Step -2**

Get the group\_id from the above API, Use the below api

[http://localhost/api/v2/groups/{group\_id}/hosts/](http://localhost/api/v2/groups/%7Bgroup_id%7D/hosts/)

{  
“name”: “host1”,  
“description”: “”,  
“enabled”: true,  
“instance\_id”: “”,  
“variables”: “locahost\_var1: 10”,  
“inventory”: inventory\_id  
}

Note that inventory\_id should be same for both API
