Overview
Oracle Enterprise Data Management Cloud Service provides a Representational State Transfer (REST) API to perform user tasks in an automated manner. REST API is an application-programming interface that provides a simplified way to exchange data through HTTP requests from a client to the server.
In REST APIs, a resource is an object with
a type, associated data, and relationships to other resources. You
can use a set of HTTP methods to access each resource. Resources are
organized in a hierarchical structure that enables:
- Better organization, by grouping related data so that you can efficiently customize the resources.
- Improved performance, by using a single HTTP request to handle multiple resources.
Supported HTTP Methods
HTTP methods to create, update, and retrieve data.
HTTP Methods | Descriptions |
---|---|
GET | Retrieve a single or multiple records of the resource. |
POST | Create a resource or perform an operation. |
PUT | Updates a REST API resource |
DELETE | Delete a REST API resource or related component |
