How to create Folder and a Subfolder using Postman

Question

Hi Experts,

I was trying to create a Folder and a Subfolder in a single call using Postman.

If I give Folder name/Subfolder name, It is throwing 500 error.

If I give only Folder name, it is creating a folder and I have to do another call to create a Subfolder inside the created folder.

Is there any possibility to create a Folder and a Subfolder in a single call?
Postman:

Hi @Nani ,
Per my test and research, SharePoint REST API will not create parent folder and child folder at the same time. The rest api can only work with the right path. It's unable to auto create folder if the Folder doesn't exist. It will throw an error not found. So if we need to create a subfolder. We should take two steps: create parent folder first and then create the subfolder.
