What is the use of HTTP POST in Salesforce?

Hello Sanjana,

There are various methods used while making a callout through HTTP. The HTTP-'POST' method is used when we are to post a data to the server or create a resource for a client to use.

Hi,

Making your Apex class available as a REST web service is straightforward. Define your class as global, and define methods as global static. Add annotations to the class and methods. For example, this sample Apex REST class uses one method. The createRecord method is a custom REST API call. It’s annotated with @HttpPost and is invoked for a POST request.

@RestResource(urlMapping='/Account/*')
global with sharing class MyRestResource {
@HttpPost
global static Account createRecord() {
// Add your code
}
}

Hope this helps!

HTTP POST in Salesforce is used to take the data from the resources.
