HTTP

http is the protocol underneath the API calls in Brevvie Python + AI — Section 4: APIs, Postman & Calling the Web. The source teaches it as a request/response system with a few pieces worth memorizing.

Core pieces

• request method
• URL
• headers
• optional body
• response status code
• response headers
• response body

See also HTTP Headers for the metadata layer carried on both requests and responses.

Common methods from the source

• GET = read
• POST = create
• PUT / PATCH = update
• DELETE = remove

Why it matters

The section treats HTTP literacy as a reusable mental model for nearly every future integration task. It is the parent model behind Web APIs, Query Parameters, HTTP Status Codes, and HTTP Headers.
