Hello friends, im trying to create a new category with Postman, like it is written in the Documentation

 ![image_2021_04_26T15_37_08_650Z](https://europe1.discourse-cdn.com/flex013/uploads/shopware/original/2X/6/6c3583a07d883d4fe2dd88460b93d208e99a82cd.png)

But instead of creating a new category, I get a list of all categories as result. Do you know what the problem could be ? My middleware python scripts require this function to work properly.  
How could I fix the API ?

API Key, User and password are all correct. And other functions are working fine.

Im struggling with this issue for a long time now…
