Invoking an Operation

For each resource path, you must define operations (or HTTP methods) that can be used to access the path.

Supported Operations

The following operations are supported by REST APIs:

  • GET

  • POST

  • PUT

  • DELETE

Information in Response

For each supported operation, you can visualize what a Response would look like before sending a Request. The Responses section displays the following information:

  • Response content type: You can view the Response in the JSON or XML format. The default format is JSON.

  • Request URL: You can use this URL to send the request.

  • Server responses: This section displays the Code, Response Body, and Response Headers.

  • Responses: This section displays the Code and a Description that indicates whether a successful Response or Fault is produced. It also includes links to an Example Value and the corresponding Model. The Example Value is displayed by default. Click Model to view the model.
