HCP System Management Help


Supported methods

The HCP management API supports the HTTP methods listed in the table below.

Method

Description

PUT

Creates a resource.

When creating a resource, you need to supply values for all properties that do not have default values. If properties with default values are omitted from the request body, those values are applied to the resource.

GET

Retrieves information about an individual resource or retrieves a list of resources of a given type.

HEAD

Performs a GET but does not return the response body. You can use a HEAD request to check whether a particular resource exists.

POST

Modifies a resource.

When modifying a resource, you need to supply values only for the properties whose values you want to change. If properties are omitted from the request body, they remain unchanged.

DELETE

Deletes a resource.

OPTIONS

Describes the methods supported by a given resource.

Each request you submit to the management API can work on only one resource. So, for example, you cannot use a single PUT request to create two tenants.
