What HTTP request methods do you know?

Most common HTTP request methods:

• GET: Requests a representation of the specified resource. Data is sent in the URL.

• POST: Sends data to be processed to the specified resource. Data is sent in the request body.

• PUT: Replaces all current representations of the target resource with the payload content.

• DELETE: Deletes the specified resource.

• PATCH: Applies partial modifications to a resource.

• HEAD: Identical to GET but without the response body. Used to obtain metadata about the resource, such as headers.

• OPTIONS: Used to describe the communication options for the target resource.

Examples of usage:

Method	Description	API Example
GET	Retrieve data (e.g., list of users).	GET /api/users
POST	Create a new resource (e.g., user registration).	POST /api/users (with user data in the request body)
PUT	Fully update an existing resource (e.g., profile data update).	PUT /api/users/{id} (with full user data in the request body)
DELETE	Delete a resource (e.g., delete a user).	DELETE /api/users/{id}
PATCH	Partially update a resource (e.g., change only the user's email).	PATCH /api/users/{id} (with partial update data in the request body)
HEAD	Get resource headers without its body.	HEAD /api/users
OPTIONS	Get a list of allowed methods for the resource.	OPTIONS /api/users

# Example of a GET request using the requests library
import requests

response = requests.get('https://api.example.com/users')
print(response.json())

// Example of a POST request using fetch API
fetch('https://api.example.com/users', {
  method: 'POST',
  headers: {
    'Content-Type': 'application/json'
  },
  body: JSON.stringify({ name: 'John Doe', email: 'john@example.com' })
})
.then(response => response.json())
.then(data => console.log(data));
