SharePoint 2013 REST Create "document set" folder

Question

Hi,
Is there a way in rest api model to create a "document set" folder into a Library?
I have already created a folder through this code :
body: { '__metadata': { 'type': 'SP.Folder' }, 'Name': 'New name' }
Do i need to use another namespace ? Or do i add new properties into the body section ?
Regards.

Hi,
you could see below a part of my code which works : a CRM's plugin create a document set on a SharePoint online document Library.
I have to use the "/_vti_bin/listdata.svc" instead "_api". Don't forget to add the "Slug" header.
try
Uri spSite = new Uri(https://contoso.sharepoint.com/sites/MySite);
SpoAuthUtility _spo= SpoAuthUtility.Create(spSite, "[email protected]", WebUtility.HtmlEncode("pwd"), false);
var formDigest = _spo.GetRequestDigest();
headers = new Dictionary<string, string>();
headers.Add("X-RequestDigest", formDigest);
headers.Add("Slug","https://contoso.sharepoint.com/sites/MySite/Projects/MyDocSetName|0x0120D520007A233E5B7896684DA77F0B084D0FE117">https://contoso.sharepoint.com/sites/MySite/Projects/MyDocSetName|0x0120D520007A233E5B7896684DA77F0B084D0FE117");
restQuery = "/_vti_bin/listdata.svc/Projects";
url = new Uri(String.Format("{0}/{1}", _spo.SiteUrl, restQuery));
byte[] data = System.Text.Encoding.UTF8.GetBytes("");
// Send a json odata request to SPO rest services byte[] result = HttpHelper.SendODataJsonRequest(
url,
"POST", // reading data from SP through the rest api
data,
(HttpWebRequest)HttpWebRequest.Create(url),
_spo, // pass in the helper object
headers
catch (FaultException<OrganizationServiceFault> ex)
throw new InvalidPluginExecutionException(ex.Message.ToString());
