CRUD API Examples

The following examples use the tool cURL to submit requests to the web service. This method was chosen for its ubiquity, clarity, and compact syntax. Your organization’s method for calling the web service will vary depending on programming language and operating system. The server response shown below each web service call excludes the HTTP headers and is formatted for readability. Actual response bodies contain less whitespace, but still conform to the JSON marshalling standard.
