REST HTTP Methods
REST (Representational State Transfer) APIs use standard HTTP methods to perform operations on resources. Here are the most common HTTP methods used in RESTful APIs:
| Method | Description |
|---|---|
| GET | Retrieve info about a resource. It is a read-only operation and does not change the state of the resource. |
| POST | Create a new resource. It can also be used to trigger operations that don't actually create resources. |
| PUT | Update an existing resource or create a new resource if it does not exist. |
| DELETE | Remove a REST API resource. |
