Isn't there a need for node_submit() as well before node_save(); ?
In D6, yes. Also to clarify Alex's point, a pure node_submit() +
node_save() is indeed faster -- because it doesn't hit any hooks. The
"proper" way to save a node programmatically is in the comments for
drupal_execute():
* // Create a new node
* $form_state = array();
* module_load_include('inc', 'node', 'node.pages');
* $node = array('type' => 'story');
* $form_state['values']['title'] = 'My node';
* $form_state['values']['body'] = 'This is the body text!';
* $form_state['values']['name'] = 'robo-user';
* $form_state['values']['op'] = t('Save');
* drupal_execute('story_node_form', $form_state, (object)$node);

If speed is not an issue, use drupal_execute(). You're on the safe
side with it, you don't need to worry about hook_nodeapi() /
hook_form_alter() implementations of the moduls in use.
Otherwise, I settled for:
$node = new stdClass();
node_object_prepare($node);
// Add stuff.
$node->title = 'my title';
node_save($node);
On that note, I urge all module developers to not rely on form
submission in their hook_nodeapi() implementations. Your module's
node api implementation shouldn't break when a node is being created
without using the way through the form api.
