Cannot create new folder #42

Closed JeremyJeanson closed 8 years ago

JeremyJeanson commented 8 years ago

Hi,

I haven't found a way to use this API to create new folders. I was hoping to find something like a POST to "reader/api/0/add-tag" or something else.

Did i missed something?

It's a little convoluted, but you can only create a new folder when moving a subscription to it. See https://github.com/theoldreader/api#updating-subscription

Reason it is this way is that folders with no subscriptions in them are automatically deleted.

Folder can be any name you'd like. If it does not exist, then it will be created.
