• An HTTP action to be performed for a given resource. Although they can also be nouns, request methods are sometimes referred to as “HTTP verbs.” Each of them implements a different semantic, but some common features are shared by a group of them: e.g., a request method can be safe, idempotent, or cacheable. The methods are GET, HEAD, POST, PUT, DELETE, CONNECT, OPTIONS, TRACE, and PATCH. ← MDN Web Docs
