API methods

Yandex Cloud APIs use a set of methods for resource management. Each gRPC call is mapped to a certain HTTP method. For example, the List call is mapped to the GET method and the Create call is mapped to the POST method. Mapping to HTTP requests is specified in a method's description in google.api.http annotation.

There are two sets of methods in APIs:

• Standard API methods allow you to perform CRUD operations: create, retrieve, update, and delete resources. Standard methods have the same signature and work in the same way for all APIs they are used in.
• Additional API methods enhance the functionality of standard methods. You can use them to attach a disk, restart a VM, and perform other operations. The signature of additional methods differs from that of standard ones.
