Understanding REST API Endpoints for PeopleSoft
PeopleSoft delivers Representational State Transfer (REST) Application Programming Interfaces (APIs) to support your integration of PeopleSoft Skills with new or existing applications or business flows.
An API is a set of definitions and protocols that define how applications or devices can connect to and communicate with each other. It enables an application or service to access a resource within another application or service.
A REST API is an API that conforms to the constraints of REST architectural style and allows for interaction with RESTful web services.
REST APIs use a:
GET request to retrieve a record.
POST request to create one.
PUT request to update a record.
DELETE request to delete one.
