Autodesk Data Management API create item in folder

Question

According to the Autodesk Forge references, a folder is "a logical organization of items within a project". So that means that a folder contains several items.

But the webservice to create an item looks like that:

POST /data/v1/projects/{project_id}/items

This web-request only takes the project-id into account. But there seems to be no way, to provide the folder-id. So how can I create an item in a specific folder?

When creating an item, you need to pass (among other things) the parent folder id:

  // ......
  relationships: {
    // .....
    parent: {
      data: {
        type: "folders",
        id: FOLDER_ID_HERE
      }
    }
  }
  // ......
