Rest API for workspace folder creation

[CrazyCraigo]

Does anyone know if you can create a folder in a workspace using the rest api. 

I can see references to Subfolder object id in some calls but it seems like this would be the id of an existing folder. It's not clearly documented as far as I can tell. 

any help/ thoughts appreciated.

Hi @CrazyCraigo ,
The feature may appear later. Please be patient.

You can also suggest the idea in the Microsoft Fabric.

Thanks. That is the information I found too. Nothing really point to it being available in the API and it is still technically in preview so hopefully its still to come.

We can't be patient no more. Folder has been announced since March, 2024 but til now, there is no rest api to create this? Did even MS consider it as a item?

Good point. I'll make sure its raised. In the first instance I was really just confirming I wasn't missing something obvious

Thanks for the prompt.

Hi @CrazyCraigo ,

Based on the description, the product does not have documents to introduce information about creating a folder by using the rest api. 

But for the power bi report server,  using the REST API to create folders.
