Introduction
The Folder Management API can be used to create, move, and delete folders for content, or to set metadata such as the locale or allowed document types. This endpoint also supports listing folder contents, to enable scripting more advanced data transformation use cases in combination with the Content Management API.
Live site protections
Operations on folders can have an immediate impact on a live website. In order to prevent unintentional changes, some operations can only be performed if no published documents or pages exist within the descendants of a folder.
Authorization
The Folder Management API is a protected management API and requires authorization using a token. See API Authorization for instructions on how to obtain and use a token.
Updates and conflict prevention
When updating an existing resource, you must include the entire resource including all its existing unchanged properties. It's not possible to update only a subset of properties. Read more about how to handle updates and conflict prevention.

Development Aids
To aid developers in working with the Folder Management API, the following tools and resources are provided:
Run in Postman
Easily import the Folder Management API collection and try the endpoints in Postman . The advantage is that in Postman we offer several examples of how the endpoints can be used.
The only thing needed to use the Postman collection is to setup the environment variables:
- brxHost: the URL of your Bloomreach Content environment
- x-auth-token: the Authentication token
