  Interesting. I guess I've been going off of RFC 7231 > The PUT method requests that the state of the target resource be created or replaced with the state defined by the representation enclosed in the request message payload. https://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc7231.txt https://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc7231.txt

    My rule of thumb: if you know the ID of the resource you’re creating, it’s a PUT. If the system generates the ID, then it’s a POST.

      More generally the URI instead of the ID.

        The I in URI, stands for Identifier...
