The structure of a REST request includes the following main components:

HTTP Method — defines the action: GET, POST, PUT, DELETE, PATCH, etc.
URL (Endpoint) — the address of the resource being accessed.
Headers — request metadata, such as content type (Content-Type), authorization (Authorization), cookies, etc.
Request Body — data sent to the server (usually in POST, PUT, PATCH requests), such as JSON with information.
Query Parameters — additional parameters in the URL after the ? symbol, e.g., ?page=2&limit=10.

Example of a REST request:

POST /api/users HTTP/1.1
Host: example.com
Content-Type: application/json
Authorization: Bearer token

{
  "name": "John",
  "age": 30
}

Here, the method is POST, the URL is /api/users, headers specify the content type and authorization, and the body contains JSON data about the user.
