Implementing REST API CRUD operations
Basically you should follow these principles:
Use the correct HTTP method
Use the correct HTTP status code
HTTP method
| HTTP method | Operation |
| POST | Create (or all NOT idempotent operations) |
| GET | Read or Retrieve |
| PUT | Update all fields of a resource (basically replace it) |
| PATCH | Update only part of a resource |
| DELETE | Delete |
HTTP response status
| HTTP status code | Description | Example |
| 1xx | Informational | 100 Continue |
| 2xx | Success | 200 OK |
| 3xx | Redirection | 307 Temporary Redirect |
| 4xx | Client Error | 404 Not Found |
| 5xx | Server Error | 500 Internal Server Error |
