I have referred following url,

> **[Discourse API Docs](https://docs.discourse.org/#tag/Groups%2Fpaths%2F~1groups~1%7Bname%7D.json%2Fput)**

With the help of above url, i can update a group title but i want to rename a group.  
So there is any way to rename a group using discourse api.

I did some reverse engineering, by following below steps now i can rename a group.

GET /groups/{name}.json  
Firstly i get group info with the help of name  
e.g GET /groups/staff.json

Then I have a group id which i already fetched using above method. Replaced below id to actual group id.  
PUT /groups/{id}.json  
e.g PUT /groups/12.json and includes a group name in your PUT request.

Now it is working. Thanks.
