# PUT /Append Taxonomy Node

# PUT /taxonomy/append/[<parent-id>] – Append to existing taxonomy node

Use this function to update taxonomy for the data that you share with Yahoo This API should be used to append node and its sub-tree to an existing taxonomy node, represented by parent-id. Taxonomy nodes will be inserted into the top of the hierarchy if parent-id is not specified.
