What You’ll Learn:

• How to send POST requests with a JSON body

• Use PUT to update existing data

• Send DELETE requests to remove data

• Set required headers like Content-Type: application/json

• Understand the structure of request bodies and endpoints

What Are These Methods?

• POST → Create new data (e.g., new user, new blog post)

• PUT → Update existing data

• DELETE → Remove data from the server

🛠 Let’s Try a POST Request

Endpoint:

https://jsonplaceholder.typicode.com/posts

Method:

POST

Headers:

Content-Type: application/json
Body (raw - JSON):

"title": "Mastering Postman",

"body": "This is a test post using Postman.",

"userId": 1

Click Send → You’ll get a response with a 201 Created status and the new post data.

PUT & DELETE Examples

PUT (Update):

• URL: https://jsonplaceholder.typicode.com/posts/1

• Method: PUT

• Body: (change title/body content)

DELETE:

• URL: https://jsonplaceholder.typicode.com/posts/1

• Method: DELETE

• No body required

• You'll get a 200 OK or 204 No Content status

Pro Tips:

Always set Content-Type: application/json when sending JSON


You can reuse previous request bodies using Postman's History tab
Check the status code — it tells you if the operation succeeded
Use POST for new data, PUT for updates, PATCH for partial updates
