First, just as with any database programming, you really should not be performing a transaction within a loop.

Second, you can just look at the key on the data after calling Model.addNodeData:

myDiagram.startTransaction(...);
for (...) {
  var data = { ... };
  myDiagram.model.addNodeData(data);
  // now can look at data.key, or more generally:
  var key = myDiagram.model.getKeyForNodeData(data);
}
myDiagram.commitTransaction(...);
3

in var data can i give partial node data like
{“text”:test, “category”:“fk”,“group”:to1, “not_null”:0};
will it give me the required key?

What happens when you try it?
