Supported Request Methods

The MySonicWall API utilizes four of the methods that HTTP protocol (RFC 7231 and RFC 5789) defines to create, read, update and delete (CRUD) resources. Below table describes the supported HTTP methods.

Supported HTTP request methods

HTTP method	Description
GET	Retrieves the specified resource or collection of resources. GET is a read-only operation that does not alter appliance state or configuration. A GET operation should not contain a request-body.
POST	Submits data to be processed by the specified resource or collection of resources. In most cases, MySonicWall APIs uses the POST verb to create and add a resource to a collection of resources (for example, add a new Tenant or create a new user).
PUT	Updates the specified resource. The data included in the PUT request-body replaces the previous configuration.
DELETE	Deletes the specified resource or collection of resources.
