I tried the same in Inventor 2019, but seems like the "Add" method is not yet exposed with Extend Features. See below thread that is quite old but it also states the same.

Hope this has answered your question
It's still not available in Inventor 2021 either. And when I searched for the topic within the Inventor Ideas forum, I didn't find any matches, so it doesn't even look like anyone is trying to get it implemented. I also found a much older post from this customization forum, dating back to early 2008 where someone was also inquiring about this, and found out it wasn't available.
@Khoa_NguyenDang If I were you, I would create a post there on the Inventor Ideas forum that asks for the Autodesk team to expose this ExtendFeatures.Add() method to the API so we can work with it. Good luck.

Hi @WCrihfield
Thank you for your reply. Hope in the future Inventor API can include the Extend Feature

I have not used that feature with API, but I have just checked the API Document and it has got an "Add" method, means you can create that with API.
You first need to create RuledSurfaceDefinition , Then you can add this in RuledSurfaceFeature method.
You need some inputs for creating RuledSurfaceDefinition which you can check in API Document. This will be a bit tricky task to achieve, but seems like this can be done.
Hope this will help you.
Still not implemented, I posted it as Idea: https://forums.autodesk.com/t5/inventor-ideas/provide-api-to-create-extend-feature/idi-p/12483855
