About the Site Folders API

The Site Folders API enables the management of sites in an account by organizing them into folders.

With the Folders APIs you can create folders, update folder names, and delete folders. You can also get a parent folder’s ID by site ID, and you can move folders and sites between folders.

Important: This API is accessible via API keys, which are currently available to selected beta users only. You will not be able to access this API with a standard Auth header.

Site owners and contributors can also manage their sites and folders via the My Sites page.
