HTTP Methods
Since our API is RESTful, each API call requires a specific HTTP method to indicate the type of operation to be performed. The client libraries will use the appropriate method for the desired operation, so the method only has to be specified when interacting with the Phaxio API at the HTTP level, such as when using curl:
curl -X DELETE https://api.phaxio.com/v2.1/faxes/123456/file \
-u 'API_KEY:API_SECRET'
Method Simulation
Some HTTP clients don’t support all HTTP methods. In such cases, the POST method can be used, with the method for
the API call passed in the _method
parameter:
curl https://api.phaxio.com/v2.1/faxes/123456/file
-F '_method=DELETE' \
-u 'API_KEY:API_SECRET'
