Magento 2 API update category not working

[hanhoe]

Hello,

I upload the category with API. This is working:
HTTP POST /V1/categories

Deleting also working

But now I want to change an existing with:

PUT /rest/V1/categories/72/

72 = id of the category

My JSON:

{
 "category": {
 "custom_attributes": [{
 "attribute_code": "image",
 "value": "erpTestCategory3.png"
 },
 {
 "attribute_code": "description",
 "value": "Description Test"
 }],
 "id": 72,
 "include_in_menu": true,
 "is_active": false,
 "name": "erp Test Category-3",
 "parent_id": 70
 }
}

But nothing happens ... I get HTTP/1.1 200 OK back.

But no new name or other is new.

Made I´m something wrong?

Hi @hanhoe

I think you missed something on parameter level - i have tried with call on my postman its and its working 

Kindly check below details and do the same , that will work !

URL -  http://your URL/index.php/rest/V1/categories/45/

Method : PUT

Below is the exact json parameters :

{  
   "category":{  
      "id":"45",
      "name":"OILFIELD",
      "is_active":"true",
      "include_in_menu":"true",
      "parent_id":"11652",
       "customAttributes":[  
         {  
            "attributeCode":"description",
            "value":"OILFIELDs\n"
         },
         {  
            "attributeCode":" ",
            "value":" "
         },
         {  
            "attributeCode":"is_anchor",
            "value":"1"
         },
         {  
            "attributeCode":"is_feature",
            "value":1
         },
         {  
            "attributeCode":" ",
            "value":" "
         },
         {  
            "attributeCode":" ",
            "value":" "
         }
      ]
   }
}

Try this way and check it will works

Hello,

no it didn´t work .. but I found the solution. I have to use:

http://your URL/rest/all/V1/categories/45/

Hi @hanhoe

Yes - sometimes we need to pass all keyword in the url - but its also worked without all as well !

Anyways glad to know that you have resolved your issue - do answer accept as solution - so other user gets helped on the same 

happy to help and keep helping

Thank you! Was having the exact same issue, and adding 'all' to the url fixed it.
