# How to perform CRUD operations using REST API?

Users can perform operations to **Create/Read/Update/Delete data (CRUD operations)** using **REST API methods viz. POST/GET/PUT/DELETE requests** within Leapwork.

### To perform REST API calls, the following four things are required in Leapwork.

1. ### CREATE:
   
   To create resources in a REST environment, we most commonly use the HTTP POST method. POST creates a new resource of the specified resource type.

2. ### READ:
   
   To read resources in a REST environment, we use the GET method. Reading a resource should never change any information - it should only retrieve it.

3. ### UPDATE:
   
   It updates the resource and can also be used to create a resource sometimes using the PUT method from the HTTP Request block.

4. ### DELETE:
   
   The CRUD operation "Delete" corresponds to the HTTP method DELETE. It is used to remove a resource from the system.
