Which four operations are API CRUD requests?

• A. Read, Update, Delete, Create
• B. Create, Read, Update, Delete
• C. Update, Delete, Create, Read
• D. Delete, Create, Read, Update

Answer: (B)

CRUD represents the four fundamental operations you perform on data through an API: creating a new entry, reading or retrieving existing data, updating an existing entry, and deleting an entry. These actions cover the full lifecycle of records in a datastore. In many APIs, each operation maps to a standard HTTP method—create uses POST, read uses GET, update uses PUT or PATCH, and delete uses DELETE—highlighting how these four actions combine to manage data. The canonical order of these operations is Create, Read, Update, Delete, which aligns with the given correct answer.
