  • Article

In this example, the protocol client submits a request to add a book to the catalog.

The protocol client sends the following message:

 POST /_vti_bin/client.svc/SampleCode.BookStore.Catalog/Books HTTP/1.1
 Host: www.example.com
 Accept: */*, application/json
 Content-Type: application/json
  
 { 
   '__metadata': {'type': 'SampleCode.Book'}, 
   'Title': 'Simple Cookbook',
   'Author': 'Neil Black', 
   'Status': 2, 
   'PublishDate': '2009-08-01T00:00:00.0000000'
 }

The protocol server responds with the following message:

 HTTP/1.1 201 Created
 Content-Type: application/json; charset=utf-8
  
 {
   "d":{
     "__metadata":{
       "id":"fdda44df-a566-4df6-9b63-c3f8ac236377",
       "uri":"http://www.example.com/_vti_bin/client.svc/SampleCode.BookStore.Catalog/Books('63a687c6-921b-f898-4204-22f09533f28e')",
       "type":"SampleCode.Book"
     },
     "Author":"Neil Black",
