This is very informative. Learned a lot about RESTful APIs.
I saw you're using Postman for testing APIs. If anyone like to spin up a RESTful API online - checkout Hoppscotch.io - helps to make requests directly from the browser.

You can also test your endpoint from your IDE using Postman new vscode extension... Check out my article here

Amazing, very informative.

What Nobody Tells You: Must-Knows About REST as a Developer

Read this to learn the practical differences between PUT and PATCH (upsert vs update), along with key concepts that every single article fail to mention.
Actually PUT isn't only for update but for create or update in a idempotent way. You don't even need to know if your resource already exists but you can only use it if you already know the URL of the resource you want to create or update.
This breakdown of REST APIs is brilliantly explained! 🌐 The analogy of a restaurant waiter as a medium between you and the server is spot on. Plus, the rundown of HTTP methods like GET, POST, PUT, and DELETE is super helpful for grasping the practicality. Kudos for making the technical concepts crystal clear
