    Introduction to REST

    Introduction to REST

    The REST API is based on interactions with a web page; data is treated like a static web page:

    • Add data by POSTing a web page
    • Fetch data by GETing a web page
    • Update data by PUTing a web page
    • Partial updates supported by PATCHing a web page
    • Delete data by DELETEing a web page

    After receiving the request, the FortiAuthenticator API sends back an HTTP response code. These error codes are summarized in General API response codes.
