how to access specific team site in share-point using rest apis - rest

Question

goal: I'm trying to access a specific team site which created in my share-point account using REST APIs and create a folder inside there (Documents folder - default location)
actual results: I'm getting 403 error code. following is the response body which I'm getting.
{
"error": {
"code": "-2147024891, System.UnauthorizedAccessException",
"message": {
"lang": "en-US",
"value": "Access denied. You do not have permission to perform this action or access this resource."
}
}
}
expected result: specified folder should be created and response code should be 201 or 200
what I've tried:
first registered the app in both share-point as well as Azure
get the bearer token calling share-point rest api
tested get apis for share-point and all are worked as expected.
before each request I set the bearer token in the request header
following are the other request headers which I'm setting
Content-Type : application/json;odata=verbose
X-RequestDigest : some random string
Accept : application/json;odata=verbose
following is the share-point REST API, I used POST method for creating a folder
https://***.sharepoint.com/sites/TeamSite_ForB/_api/web/folders
following is the request body which I'm sending
{
"__metadata":{
"type":"SP.Folder"
},
"ServerRelativeUrl":"/Shared Documents/buddhika-test-folder-03"
}
In the share-point documentation site they've provided the API format.
I tried with that format , but couldn't get the result as well.
following is from share-point documentation.
To access a specific site, use the following construction:
http://server/site/_api/web
in that case I have tried as following
https://***.sharepoint.com/TeamSite_ForB/_api/web/folders
I'm getting response as 404 Not found with no response message.
I have searched through many documents but couldn't find how to access a specific team site.
Any help would be appreciated.

The request REST API URL as below.
https://***.sharepoint.com/sites/TeamSite_ForB/_api/web/folders
The request body as following.
{
"__metadata":{
"type":"SP.Folder"
},
"ServerRelativeUrl":"Shared Documents/buddhika-test-folder-03"
}
Example code:
<script src="//code.jquery.com/jquery-3.1.0.min.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">
function getFormDigest() {
return $.ajax({
url: _spPageContextInfo.webAbsoluteUrl + "/_api/contextinfo",
method: "POST",
headers: { "Accept": "application/json; odata=verbose" }
});
}
function createFolderTest() {
var documentLibraryName = "Shared Documents";
var folderName="buddhika-test-folder-03";
if(folderName!=""){
createfolder(documentLibraryName,folderName).done(function (data) {
console.log('Folder creted succesfully');
}).fail(function (error) {
console.log(JSON.stringify(error));
});
}
return true;
}
function createfolder(documentLibraryName,folderName){
var requestUri = _spPageContextInfo.webAbsoluteUrl + "/_api/web/folders";
return getFormDigest().then(function (data) {
return $.ajax({
url: requestUri,
type: "POST",
contentType: "application/json;odata=verbose",
data:JSON.stringify({'__metadata': { 'type': 'SP.Folder' }, 'ServerRelativeUrl': documentLibraryName+'/'+folderName}),
headers: {
"accept":"application/json;odata=verbose",
"X-RequestDigest":data.d.GetContextWebInformation.FormDigestValue
}
});
});
}
</script>
<input type="button" onclick="createFolderTest()" value="Create Folder"/>
