The methods that make up API methods.

Today I will be giving you my current understanding of API methods such as, GET, POST, PATCH, & DELETE. I will start off with GET and what I understand it as. GET is a method that sends an HTTP request to retrieve or read data from a server. We have used GET as a way to retrieve blogs from this site. Next up is the POST method. Post is a method that sends data to a server. Post can be used to add data into a server that might be needed. PATCH by my understanding is used to apply modifications to a resource that already exists in the data. PATCH can be used to fix a piece of data that might be messing up. Finally DELETE is used to get rid of data or resources no longer needed. DELETE can be used to get rid of data that isn't required. All of these methods together help coders do many things to pieces of data that already exist.
