BEAR API follows a RESTful API Structure. The following verbs are used in requests:
| HTTP Request type | Description |
| GET |
Use this type to read data from server. E.g. GET http://apidev.bear2b.com/users will get list of users.
|
| POST |
Create new object. E.g. POST on http://apidev.bear2b.com/users with required parameters will create new user
|
| PUT |
Update existing object. In this type of request unique ID of the object is required. E.g. to update user’s first and last names you can call PUT http://apidev.bear2b.com/users/5?first_name=Kim&last_name=Ivanov
|
| DELETE |
Delete existing object. In this type of request unique ID of the object is required. E.g. to delete a user with id=5 we have to call DELETE http://apidev.bear2b.com/users/5

There is a lot of REST tools which help you to send any type of REST requests. We personally prefer REST Console – Google Chrome’s extension.
