creating categories and subcategories using the api catalogCategoryRepositoryV1

Question

I am able to create categories under default category but I am not able to create sub category while creating a new category under default. The body I am passing is

{
  "category": {

    "parent_id": 2,
    "name": "test_category1",
    "is_active": true




  }
}

Answer 1

I created a category under deafult category using following request
{
 "category": {
 "parent_id": 2,
 "name": "test",
 "is_active": true
 }
}
 To create a sub category for your new category change parent id equivalent to your response

 You can use below request :
 {
 "category": {
 "parent_id": 42,
 "name": "test1",
 "is_active": true
 }
}
