Move page to new parent with Confluence Cloud REST API

unknown

I'm trying to move pages programatically from one place in the hierarchy to another.  Some claim this can't be done and others claim to have done it with something like this;

 

url = "https://foobar.atlassian.net/wiki/rest/api/content/1147126"

payload = json.dumps(

{"id":1147126,
"type":"page",
"title":"My page 8", 
"ancestors":[{"id":1378762}], 
"space":{"key":"CD"},
"version":{"number":4}})

headers = {
"Accept": "application/json",
"Content-Type": "application/json"
}

r = requests.request("PUT", url, data=payload, headers=headers, auth=auth)

print(r.ok , r.status_code , r.reason, r.url)

jl = json.loads(r.text)
jl

 

When I run this, I get:

True 200 OK https://foobar.atlassian.net/wiki/rest/api/content/1147126

 

But, in fact, the page is still in the same place when I refresh.

Can anybody help?

After expending several hours with experiments, I got it to work, sort of. 

The title has to be changed.  

payload = json.dumps(

{"id":1147126,
"type":"page",
"title": "new page 8", 
"ancestors":[{"id":1378762}], 
"space":{"key":"CD"},
"version":{"number":4}})

Then the version number can be bumped, and the title can be changed back.

payload = json.dumps(

{"id":1147126,
"type":"page",
"title":"My page 8", 
"ancestors":[{"id":1378762}], 
"space":{"key":"CD"},
"version":{"number":5}})

It's not how I would have designed it.
