Introduction

The CouchDB API is the primary method of interfacing to a CouchDB instance.

Requests are made using HTTP and requests are used to:

request information from the database,
store new data,
and perform views and formatting of the information stored within the documents.

The category method of requests to CouchDB:

the different areas of the CouchDB system that you are accessing
the HTTP method used to send the request

Q: Why can be categoried by different methods? A: Different methods imply different operations:

retrieval of information from the database is typically handled by the GET operation
updates are handled by either a POST or PUT request There are some differences between the information that must be supplied for the different methods.
