POST, PUT & PATCH Requests
BrowserAPI is not limited to GET requests. You can now easily scrape the internet by sending POST, PUT or PATCH requests as well.
Currently in BETA version, the POST, PUT and PATCH requests are sent to the same base API URL. The only requirement for such requests is to pass the data (payload) alongside your request.
As you will see in the examples below, the only difference in implementation between the three is the HTTP method used. Apart from that, both requests are similar with respect to the endpoint and parameters passed.
