I want to rename and move an asset through curl there are 700+ assets to work on, can anyone help on the best way to do this one. I want to change the name of these assets like how we get the change of asset when move operation is performed.

Took the command from here:

You can switch to documentation, whichever version of AEM you are using.
Also, you might be running your curl command with some other user credentials than "admin"

@gojo1 In my opinion, below is the best way for bulk renaming and moving of Assets:
-Get a List of Assets
-Write a shell script, reading those assets and executing the curl command (reference below)

Renaming and Moving of an asset can be taken care in a single command:
curl -u admin:admin -X MOVE https://[aem_server]:[port]/api/assets/source/file.png -H "X-Destination: https://[aem_server]:[port]/api/assets/destination/file.png" -H "X-Overwrite: T"
