$entry_id = 50;

$entry_object = ee('Model')
                ->get('ChannelEntry')
                ->filter('entry_id', $entry_id)
                ->first();

Alternatively using the Entry ID as the Primary Key:

$entry_id = 50;

$entry_object = ee('Model')
                ->get('ChannelEntry', $entry_id)
                ->first();

Create a new simple entry

$entry              = ee('Model')->make('ChannelEntry');
$entry->author_id   = ee()->session->userdata('member_id'); // Returns currently Logged-in user ID.
$entry->channel_id  = 1;
$entry->title       = 'An Awesome Title';
$entry->url_title   = ee('Format')->make('Text', 'An Awesome Title')->urlSlug()->compile(); // Returns an-awesome-title. Must be unique.
$entry->status      = ee('Model')->get('Status', 1)->first()->status; // Returns 'open';
$entry->entry_date  = ee()->localize->now; // Returns time in seconds: 1623945317

// Validate and Save.
$result = $entry->validate();

if ($result->isValid()) {
    $entry->save();
}

$entry->entry_id; // Will now return the new Entry ID.

Edit a Status

$entry_id = 3;

// Get the entry object.
$entry = ee('Model')->get('ChannelEntry', $entry_id)->first(); 

// Returns 'closed'.
$entry->status = ee('Model')->get('Status', 2)->first()->status; 

// Validate and Save.
$result = $entry->validate();

if ($result->isValid())
{
  $entry->save();
}

Get an Entry’s Children

// The parent entry.
$entry_id = 1; 

// Get the Entry's object.
$entry = ee('Model')->get('ChannelEntry', $entry_id)->first(); 

// Get the children relationship.  Returns entry objects.
$children = $entry->Children; 

// Will output array(2, 3, 4...etc);
$children_ids = $children->pluck('entry_id');

As One Line:

$children_ids = ee('Model')->get('ChannelEntry', 1)->first()->Children->pluck('entry_id');

Note that relationships can not be set this way.

Custom Fields

Get an Entry’s Custom Field

// Get a Channel Entry object.
$entry = ee('Model')->get('ChannelEntry', 5)->first();

// Get the field data.
$field_data = $entry->field_id_5;

// Using Variables.
$field_id = 5;
$field_data = $entry->{'field_id_'.$field_id};

Set a Custom Field

// Get a Channel Entry object.
$entry = ee('Model')->get('ChannelEntry', 5)->first();

// Set the field data.
$entry->field_id_5 = 'New Data';

// Validate and Save.
$result = $entry->validate();

if ($result->isValid())
{
  $entry->save();
}
