Is it possible to use other methods in this API? #273

I'm studying Rest API, but I haven't seen documentation examples to do a POST, PUT, PATCH or DELETE. In general we only consume API data or would there be any so I can test the other methods?

In this API case, you can only GET data.

is there possible to set number of records to show than just 10 on the search prams

The other methods don't make sense in the context of the API. Users should not be able to do this:

POST: Add a movie PUT: Change multiple fields in a movie, like year and title PATCH: Change 1 field, like just the genre of a movie DELETE: Remove a movie from OMDB

If you want to practice manipulating data through REST, you'll need to set up your own server, which could just be localhost.
