Specify an HTTP method

To form an API call, you must precede the request with an HTTP method.

HTTP methods, also known as HTTP verbs, define the action to perform on a given resource. The most common methods are GET, POST, PUT, PATCH, and DELETE. For example, use the GET method to retrieve (or "get") data about a resource.

The following table describes the methods supported by the Connectivity Management API.

Method	Description
GET	Retrieve data.
POST	Create a new resource.
PUT	Create or update a resource. The difference between PUT and POST is that PUT is idempotent. This means you can call the same PUT request repeatedly and it always produces the same result. Calling a POST request repeatedly can create multiple instances of the resource.
PATCH	Update a resource.
DELETE	Remove a resource.
