Restful HTTPS Requests

HTTP GET

GET requests, retrieve resource representation/information only and not to modify it.

HTTP POST

POST APIs create new subordinate resources. For example, a file is subordinate to a directory containing it or a row is subordinate to a database table. In terms of REST, POST methods are used to create a new resource into the collection of resources.

HTTP PUT

PUT APIs are used to update existing resources (if a resource does not exist then API may decide whether to create a new resource or not).

HTTP DELETE

DELETE APIs are used to delete resources (identified by the Request-URI).
