Examples

In this example, you create a folder with the full path /@Catalog/shared/Sales/2024 in the catalog for your Oracle Analytics instance. In this case, the intermediate folder Sales will be created as it doesn't exist yet.

cURL Example

First, Base64URL-safe encode the full path of the folder you want to create, that is /@Catalog/shared/Sales/2024. In this case, the Base64URL-safe encoded id value is L0BDYXRhbG9nL3NoYXJlZC9TYWxlcy8yMDI0

Run the cURL command with the required id and request that intermediate folders are created if required:

curl -i \
 --header 'Authorization: Bearer <token>' \
 --header 'Content-Type: application/json' \
 --request POST 'https://<hostname>/api/20210901/catalog/folders' \
 --data '{"createIntermediateFolders": true, \
          "id": "L0BDYXRhbG9nL3NoYXJlZC9TYWxlcy8yMDI0"}'
