Recipe REST API Request Bodies

To perform a POST, PATCH, or PUT request, pass query parameters or create a request body formatted in either XML or JSON. This chapter lists the request bodies. The query parameters are listed with each resource.

To create a JSON request body, specify the properties of the request body in JSON format.

This is an example of a Comment request body.
{
     "body" : "Let's look for a new solution."
     }

If a request body is top-level, it has a root XML tag listed. To create an XML request body, nest the properties as XML tags inside the root XML tag.

This is the same request body in XML format:
<comment>
     <body>Let's look for a new solution.</body>
     </comment>
