Create

To create a new folder you need to execute a POST request against the /libraries/:id/folders endpoint.

Two fields are available in the JSON body of the POST request:

• name - the name of the folder. Required.

• parent_id - the id of the parent folder. Omit this field if the folder is attached to the root of the library and not to a parent folder.

In the response you will find the unique id which identifies the folder.

1. Request (folder created in the root of the library)

cURL

curl --request POST \
  --header "Content-Type: application/json" \
  --url https://api.digitalsamba.com/api/v1/libraries/8606721f-d847-4721-a5dc-6537e822104c/folders \
  --user YOUR_TEAM_ID:YOUR_DEVELOPER_KEY \
  --data '{"name": "Birthday Party"}'

//Put your library id here - this value is just an example
final String libraryId = "8606721f-d847-4721-a5dc-6537e822104c";
		
Map<String, String> data = Map.of(
       "name", "Birthday Party"
);
String jsonData = new ObjectMapper().writeValueAsString(data);

HttpRequest request = HttpRequest.newBuilder()

  .uri(new URI("https://api.digitalsamba.com/api/v1/libraries/" + libraryId + "/folders"))
  .header("Authorization", authorizationHeader)

  .build();

HttpClient client = HttpClient.newHttpClient();
HttpResponse<String> response = client.send(request, BodyHandlers.ofString());

System.out.println("Status code: " + response.statusCode());
System.out.println("Body: " + response.body());

Response (200 OK)
