The method that you use in conjunction with an endpoint will define the HTTP request type

The following table will provide some general info on the differences between the methods:

Request type	Note
Get	Fetch information on an object, or on a list of objects Example: Information regarding an employment This is the only method that will not change any of the fields in an object
Post	Create a new object Example: Create a shift If successful, you will have one more object afterwards
Put	Change an object Example: Change an evaluation All the fields of an existing object are changed to a new value, with the sole exception that for "/users" a Put will keep former field values if you don't provide new ones.
Delete	Delete an object Example: Soft-delete an employment (recoverable) To hard-delete (unrecoverable, data lost) you will find Post requests for the respective "entity/destroy" endpoint
