# PUT /Move Node

# PUT /taxonomy/move/<source-id>/[<dest-parent-id>] – Move taxonomy node

Use this function to move existing taxonomy node identified by source-id along with its sub-tree. The node will be added as a child of an existing taxonomy node dest-parent-id. Destination taxonomy node is optional and if not specified, source node would move to the top of taxonomy hierarchy.

The API will usually return a 202 Accepted response with updated metadata in its response. An API caller can fetch metadata’s “self” link to check for status updates.
