Update a category

patch /rest/api/categories/{id}

Updates the Category resource.

Partially updates a category. The body is a JSON Merge Patch document: rename it, change its status, re-parent it, or adjust its products.

Moving in the tree

Changing parent moves the category - and its subtree - to a new place in the hierarchy. Setting parent to null makes it a top-level category.
