That API is used primarily for the Share user interface. As such, the operation may be removed in a future version of Alfresco (undetermined as of yet) when Share is finally removed.</P><P>The public v1 ReST API has its specific operation to <A href="https://api-explorer.alfresco.com/api-explorer/#!/sites/getSiteContainer" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">retrieve a site container</A> (i.e. documentLibrary), and with the container folder in hand you can then use the regular API to create a child in there.</P><P></P><P>P.S.:&nbsp;In the future, please make a selection of the categories - don't just check every single one of them, even though most don't make sense for the question.</P></BODY></HTML> Mon, 28 May 2018 21:28:14 GMT https://connect.hyland.com/t5/alfresco-forum/how-to-create-folder-under-a-specific-site-and-library-using/m-p/58795#M20895 afaust 2018-05-28T21:28:14Z Re: How to create folder under a specific site and library using REST API? https://connect.hyland.com/t5/alfresco-forum/how-to-create-folder-under-a-specific-site-and-library-using/m-p/58796#M20896 <HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY><P>Thanks a lot for the quick reply.</P><P>Just one more question, Having the container, would I be able to create folder in it?

It should be quite straightforward to connect which operations you can use for your specific use cases by looking at that.</P></BODY></HTML> Tue, 29 May 2018 10:18:03 GMT https://connect.hyland.com/t5/alfresco-forum/how-to-create-folder-under-a-specific-site-and-library-using/m-p/58797#M20897 afaust 2018-05-29T10:18:03Z Re: How to create folder under a specific site and library using REST API? https://connect.hyland.com/t5/alfresco-forum/how-to-create-folder-under-a-specific-site-and-library-using/m-p/58798#M20898 <HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY><P>Cross-posted at <A class="link-titled" href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/50573229/how-to-use-alfresco-rest-api-to-create-folder-in-a-site-documentlibrary" title="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/50573229/how-to-use-alfresco-rest-api-to-create-folder-in-a-site-documentlibrary" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">postman - How to use Alfresco rest api to create folder in a site/documentLibrary? - Stack Overflow</A>&nbsp;</P></BODY></HTML> Tue, 29 May 2018 16:23:08 GMT https://connect.hyland.com/t5/alfresco-forum/how-to-create-folder-under-a-specific-site-and-library-using/m-p/58798#M20898 jpotts 2018-05-29T16:23:08Z
