CS 10.5 Rest API /api/v1/nodes not working

In our client CS 10.5 (2016-12) setup, for some reason, the post call to /api/v1/nodes to create node does not work. It returns "400: BAD REQUEST".

In my local CS 10.5 (2015-12) setup, the same post call works. Only that the category parameter is ignored so category cannot be added to the new node.

In CS 16 setup, the call to /api/v2/nodes works great for both the creation of node and category at the same time.

Need help to figure out what could be the configuration to make it working. Thanks.

Are you getting any additional information in the body of that 400 page response?

Only 'Bad Request' is returned in the responsetext.

It turned out to be the permission setup. When only 'Add Item' permission is granted to user for the parent folder, it will fail. When full permission is granted, it works. I have to test more to find the exact permission for this call to work.

Still it seems v1 api does not support add/update category at the same time when node is created.

Another interesting finding is for /api/v1/nodes/<node id>, if 'public access' is not granted "see and see contents' permission, this call to get node information is not even working for the owner of this node (Admin user in my test, who has full permission).
