HTTP Methods

  • GET - Requests retrieve resource information
  • POST - The server creates a new entry in a database
  • PUT - Updates an existing resource
  • PATCH - Very similar to PUT but makes a partial update on a resource
  • DELETE - Deletes resource or related component
  • HEAD - Retrieve response headers identical to those of a GET request, but without the response body.
  • CONNECT - Establishes a tunnel to the server identified by the target resource
  • OPTIONS - Describe the communication options for the target resource
  • TRACE - Performs a message loop-back test along the path to the target resource
  • <custom> - Some APIs use custom request methods such as LIST. Type in your custom methods.
