Description: HTTP method

The HTTP method of an endpoint defines the type of action it performs on a given resource. Some common HTTP methods are GET, POST, DELETE, and PATCH. The REST API reference documentation provides the HTTP method for every endpoint.

For example, the HTTP method for the "List repository issues" endpoint is GET.

Where possible, the GitHub REST API strives to use an appropriate HTTP method for each action.

• GET: Used for retrieving resources.
• POST: Used for creating resources.
• PATCH: Used for updating properties of resources.
• PUT: Used for replacing resources or collections of resources.
• DELETE: Used for deleting resources.
