# How to perform CRUD operations using SOAP API?

**CRUD** is a cycle for keeping records current and permanent. The principles of the CRUD cycle are defined as **CREATE, READ/RETRIEVE, UPDATE, and DELETE.**

### We can achieve CRUD operations in Leapwork by using the HTTP Request block.

### 1. CREATE:

It is used to generate new records. Use the POST method to create a resource identified by a service-generated URI.

### 2. READ:

Using the GET method to implement the “R” in CRUD is straightforward. It reads the data based on input parameters.

### 3. UPDATE:

Use the PUT method to create or overwrite a resource identified by a URI computed by the client. It is used to modify the records.

### 4. DELETE:

It deletes a record where specified. When a resource is no longer useful, it can send a DELETE request to the resource’s URI and delete that record.
