Please use following api

http://dmstest03:8080/alfresco/api/-default-/public/alfresco/versions/1/nodes/{ parent node id}/children

for documentation please refer to https://api-explorer.alfresco.com/api-explorer/#!/nodes/createNode

This doesn't work for me when I want to update an existing document.

(I'm trying to update the properties of a file)

{
  "name": "2891",
  "nodeType": "cm:content",
  "relativePath": "/DataHub/EntityData/product/picture",
  "properties": {
    "cm:title": "asdas.jpeg"
  }
}

And I'm getting error below

{
  "error": {
    "errorKey": "Duplicate child name not allowed: 2891",
    "statusCode": 409,
    "briefSummary": "01050078 Duplicate child name not allowed: 2891",
    "stackTrace": "For security reasons the stack trace is no longer displayed, but the property is kept for previous versions",
    "descriptionURL": "https://api-explorer.alfresco.com"
  }
}
