# HTTP methods

Make API uses standard HTTP methods to interact with endpoints. The following table lists the available HTTP methods and shows examples of endpoints these methods can be used with.

| **HTTP method**                           | **Description**                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                    |

| `PATCH`                                   | <p>Makes a partial update on a resource.
