## Send Requests

Use the following guidelines when sending requests using the OIPA REST API.

To perform operations on an OIPA resource by using REST API calls, specify the fully-qualified, unique URI of the resource. The fully qualified URI of a resource is in the following format:

    https://server:port/CycleService/rest/services/tasks

The user can perform basic operations, such as create, read, and update on an OIPA resource by using standard HTTP methods, as summarized in the following table:

Table - Supported Methods

HTTP Method | Description
--- | ---
POST | Create a new resource in OIPA instance.
GET | Retrieve data for an OIPA resource.
PUT | Update data on an OIPA resource.
DELETE | Delete an OIPA instance.

Request Media Types

Unless specified otherwise, the OIPA REST API supports `application/json.`

Supported Headers

The OIPA REST API supports headers that may be passed in the header section of an HTTP request or response.

Table - Headers

Header | Description | Example
--- | --- | ---
`Accept` | Media type for the response body. | `Accept:application/json`
`Content-Type` | Media type of the request body. Required for POST and PUT requests. | `application/x-www-form-urlencoded`
