Not abe to create a folder in Sharepoint Site

Question

Hello,

I am trying to create a folder on my Sharepoint site using Postman. But I am not able to create it. Below is my endpoint

https://<spname>.sharepoint.com/sites/SalesforceFiles/_api/web/folders
I am using the POST method and passing the below headers

Authorization:Bearer <MyAccessToken>
Accept:application/json;odata=verbose
Content-Type:application/json;odata=verbose
X-RequestDigest:<FormDigestValue>

I am posting the below body to the endpoint.

{
"__metadata": {
"type": "SP.Folder"
},
"ServerRelativeUrl": "https://<spname>.sharepoint.com/sites/SalesforceFiles/_api/web/GetFolderByServerRelativeUrl('/sites/SalesforceFiles/Shared Documents/<NewFolderNameToBeCreated>')"
}

Hi @Madhu Sudan Singh ,
The wrong ServerRelativeUrl may cause the error.
It's unnecessary to add "/_api/web/GetFolderByServerRelativeUrl" in ServerRelativeUrl.
Take the following code as sample:

{  
"__metadata": {  
"type": "SP.Folder"  
},  
"ServerRelativeUrl": "https://<spname>.sharepoint.com/sites/SalesforceFiles/Shared Documents/<NewFolderNameToBeCreated>"  
}
