FOLDER CREATION

HI Every one ,

I used the following code to create folders with box API

function creatFolder($folderName){
echo $folderName;
$params = [
'name' => $folderName,
'parent' => array('id'=>'0')
];
$response = $this->client->request('POST',$this->folUrl, [
'form_params' => $params
]);
$data = $response->getBody()->getContents();
}

Here I am using GuzzleHttp\Client client to post the request 
post URL is 
$this->folUrl = "https://api.box.com/2.0/folders";

But having the following error

Fatal error: Uncaught GuzzleHttp\Exception\ClientException: Client error: `POST https://api.box.com/2.0/folders/` resulted in a `400 Bad Request` response: {"type":"error","status":400,"code":"bad_request","context_info":{"errors":[{"reason":"invalid_parameter","name":"entity (truncated...) in C:\xampp\htdocs\intrigation_3dmodeling_server_edition\vendor\guzzlehttp\guzzle\src\Exception\RequestException.php on line 113

Please help me where I am wrong??

You need an access token and you also need to send the post data in json format.

The following worked for me:

$parent = array();
$parent['id'] = $parent_id;
$params = array();
$params['name'] = $name;
$params['parent'] = $parent;
$params = json_encode($params);
$results = $this->httpClient->request('POST', 'https://api.box.com/2.0/folders',
[
'headers' => [
'Authorization' => 'Bearer ' . $access_token,
'Content-type: application/json'],
'body' => $params,
]);
