REST API to create subsite on Sharepoint 2010

Question

Looking for help on creating subsites in an existing site using REST api for SharePoint 2010. How can this be done?

My Data part looks something like this

 {
   "parameters": {
   "__metadata": {
     "type": "SP.WebInfoCreationInformation"
     },
          "Url": "Test2",
          "Title":"srinivas",
          "Description": "srinivas",
          "Language": 1033,
          "WebTemplate": "STS",
          "UseUniquePermissions": false
        }}  

But not sure how should my url contain when submitting POST . http://sharepoint.eur.ad.sag/DCS/India/POC/_vti_bin/ListData.svc/webApp/Sites/Add.

Is webApp/Sites/Add right directive to pass to create a subsite within site POC ?

Answer 1

Try below code.

using (var client = new HttpClient(handler))
{
    client.BaseAddress = new Uri(webUri);
    client.DefaultRequestHeaders.Accept.Clear();
    client.DefaultRequestHeaders.Add("accept", "application/json;odata=verbose");
    client.DefaultRequestHeaders.Add("X-RequestDigest", formDigest);

    var json = string.Format("{{'parameters':{{'__metadata': {{'type': 'SP.WebInfoCreationInformation'}}, 'Url':'{0}','Title':'{0}','Description':'Sito per la pratica {0}','Language':1033,'WebTemplate':'sts','UseUniquePermissions':false}}}}",nameSubsite);
    client.DefaultRequestHeaders.Add("ContentLength", json.Length.ToString());
    HttpContent httpContent = new StringContent(json);

    httpContent.Headers.ContentType = MediaTypeHeaderValue.Parse("application/json;odata=verbose");
    httpContent.Headers.ContentType.Parameters.Add(new NameValueHeaderValue("odata", "verbose"));


    var getAsyncTask = Task.Factory.StartNew(() =>
    {
        HttpResponseMessage result = client.PostAsync("/_api/web/webinfos/add", httpContent).Result;
        return result;

    });
    response = getAsyncTask.Result;

    //response = client.PostAsync("/_api/web/webinfos/add", httpContent).Result;

    response.EnsureSuccessStatusCode();
}

Please refer to the documentation: Create subsite with REST API and HttpClient

Use below code to create sub site using rest API,

var fullUrl = siteUrl + "/_api/web/webinfos/add";

    $.ajax({

        url: fullUrl,

        type: "POST",

        data: JSON.stringify({

            'parameters': {

                '__metadata': { 'type': 'SP.WebInfoCreationInformation' },

                'Url': newSiteUrl,

                'Title': newSiteTitle,

                'Description': newSiteDesc,

                'Language': 1033,

                'WebTemplate': 'sts#0',

                'UseUniquePermissions': false

            }

        }),

        headers: {

            "accept": "application/json;odata=verbose",

            "content-type": "application/json;odata=verbose",

            "X-RequestDigest": $("#__REQUESTDIGEST").val()

        },

        success: onQuerySucceeded,

        error: onQueryFailed

    });

}

function onQuerySucceeded() {

   alert("Site Created Successfully!");

}

function onQueryFailed(sender, args) {

    alert('Error!');

}
