Types of Requests or HTTP Request Methods characterize what action we are going to take by referring to the API. In total, there are four main types of actions: GET: retrieve information (like search results). This is the most common type of request. Using it, we can get the data we are interested in from those that the API is ready to share. POST: adds new data to the server. Using this type of request, you can, for example, add a new item to your inventory. PUT: changes existing information. For example, using this type of request, it would be possible to change the color or value of an existing product. DELETE: deletes existing information
