Supported HTTP Methods

The most commonly used HTTP methods (or verbs) are GET, POST, PATCH, and DELETE. The building blocks of REST APIs, these methods define actions applied to REST resources using their URLs.

Note:

• Oracle recommends that you periodically review if your REST request requirements have changed. Also check with your service administrator if any capacity adjustments or other changes are required in your service configuration.
• Child resources usually inherit security privileges from their parent resource. Therefore, to use a method on a child resource, you may need to have access to use that method on the parent resource. However, there may be some child resources with different privilege requirements to access them.

The following table lists the methods supported in Oracle B2C Service REST API:

HTTP Method	Description
GET	Retrieves data from a resource or object.
POST	Creates an object.
PATCH	Updates an object.
DELETE	Deletes an object.
OPTIONS	Returns a list of allowed verbs for an object type.

The PUT method isn't supported.
