POST Method

What is the POST method?

The HTTP POST method sends data to the server to create a new resource.

The request body type is indicated by the Content-Type header field. Let’s take an example to understand more about it.

Let’s make a POST request for the given URL.

curl -iX POST -H "Content-Type: application/json" -d '{ "email": "eve.holt@reqres.in", "password": "pistol" }'  https://reqres.in/api/register

• In the POST request above, ( -iX is for HTTP Method, -H is short for --header, -d for --data). The data is passed in the form of a JSON string.
