HTTP methods
The REST architecture sends web service requests over HTTP, and uses HTTP verbs to do so. The supported HTTP verbs for Narwhal CMS web services are GET, POST, DELETE and PATCH.
| HTTP verb | Description | Safe / unsafe? |
|---|---|---|
| GET | Retrieves a specific resource | Safe |
| POST | Adds a specific resource | Unsafe |
| DELETE | Deletes a specific resource | Unsafe |
| PATCH | Modifies a specific resource | Unsafe |
When calling unsafe HTTP methods, you will need to specify a X-CSRF-Token request header for security reasons. See "Adding an X-CSRF-Token request header".
