Examples

Request Example SOAP V1
$client = new SoapClient('http://magentohost/api/soap/?wsdl');

// If somestuff requires API authentication,
// then get a session token
$session = $client->login('apiUser', 'apiKey');

$result = $client->call($session, 'catalog_category.move', array('categoryId' => '4', 'parentId' => '3'));
var_dump($result);

// If you don't need the session anymore
//$client->endSession($session);
Request Example SOAP V2
$proxy = new SoapClient('http://magentohost/api/v2_soap/?wsdl'); // TODO : change url
$sessionId = $proxy->login('apiUser', 'apiKey'); // TODO : change login and pwd if necessary

$result = $proxy->catalogCategoryMove($sessionId, '4', '3');
var_dump($result);
Request Example SOAP V2 (WS-I Compliance Mode)
$proxy = new SoapClient('http://magentohost/api/v2_soap/?wsdl');

$sessionId = $proxy->login((object)array('username' => 'apiUser', 'apiKey' => 'apiKey'));

$result = $proxy->catalogCategoryMove((object)array('sessionId' => $sessionId->result, 'categoryId' => '19', 'parentId' => '8', 'afterId' => '4'));
var_dump($result->result);

Note: Please make sure that you are not moving the category to any of its own children. There are no extra checks to prevent doing it through API, and you won’t be able to fix this from the admin interface later.
