How to create Taxonomy Term using Services?

Question

I've a vocabulary called Tags. I need to create Taxonomy terms under this vocabulary using REST service.

So What is the JSON format to create taxonomy term. Similarly what is the JSON format to update taxonomy term?

Answer 1

I'm using POSTER plugin (for Firefox) to post data.

Here are the parameters.

URL: [your path]/[end-point]/taxonomy_term.json

Content Type: application/json

Actions: POST

Here are the JSON formats.

To create Taxonomy Term

{
    "vid": "1",
    "name": "My First Tag",
    "description": "Term description",
    "vocabulary_machine_name": "tags"
}

To update Taxonomy Term

{
    "tid": "14",
    "vid": "1",
    "name": "My First Tag Edit",
    "description": "Term description changed"
}

Here tid is taxonomy id and vid is vocabulary id of the Taxonomy.

Hope it helps someone.

Answer 2

First of all tid will not be remain. It's always be incremental. You got the name, vid and description :).

You just have to use taxonomy_term_save. For more reference see this comment.
