I have a folder in sharepoint. I wanted to move a file from one folder to another.

As per documentation, my trial was like below.

 headers = {"Authorization" : "Barer" + Token, 
            'Accept': 'application/json;odata=nometadata',
            'Content-Type': 'application/json;odata=verbose',
            'X-HTTP-Method': "POST",
            'X-RequestForceAuthentication': 'true'
            }

url = "https://sharepointDomain/sites/<app_name>/_api/web/getFileByServerRelativeUrl('/sites/SourceFoldername/test.xlsx')/moveto(newurl=/sites/DestinationFolderName/Test.xlsx',flags=1)?@target=sharepointDomain"

response = request.post(url, headers = headers)
print(response)

And the response I get is

The HTTP method 'GET' cannot be used to access the resource 'moveto'. The operation type of the resource is specified as 'Default'

Thanks in advance.

The url should be like:

https://sharepointDomain/sites/<app_name>/_api/web/getFileByServerRelativeUrl('/sites/SourceFoldername/test.xlsx')/moveto(newurl='/sites/DestinationFolderName/Test.xlsx',flags=1)?@target=sharepointDomain"

My test code:

function MoveFile(){
        var oUrl =  _spPageContextInfo.webAbsoluteUrl +"/_api/web/getfilebyserverrelativeurl('/doc2/doc.docx')/moveto(newurl='/doc1/doc.docx',flags=1)";
        $.ajax({
            url: oUrl,
            type: "POST",
            headers: {
                "Accept": "application/json; odata=verbose",
                "X-RequestDigest":  $("#__REQUESTDIGEST").val()
            },
            success: function(data){
                console.log(data);
            },
            error: function(data){
                console.log(data);
            }
        });
    }
