REST API

Oracle Beehive RESTful Web Services consists of APIs that enable you to develop Web applications. These APIs are implemented with the principals of REST, Representational State Transfer:

• API URLs point to the resource being used rather than a generic method endpoint.

• Requests use standard HTTP verbs for simplified CRUD methods: Create, POST; Retrieve, GET; Update, PUT; and Delete, DELETE. Standard HTTP verbs are used for other methods such as Read Batch, Delete Batch, and Lock (POST).

• Create and Update data is sent as a POST body (JSON and XML).

• Every request returns a projection of the representation of the object created, updated, or retrieved. (A projection is a defined subset of a particular representation's data members.)
