Defining the API routes

One of the most important aspects of our API are routes that we take to create, read, update, and delete our speakers.

Our routes are based on the HTTP verb used to access our API, as shown in the following examples:

• To create record, use the POST verb
• To read record, use the GET verb
• To update record, use the PUT verb
• To delete records, use the DELETE verb

So, our routes will be as follows:

Routes	Verb and Action
/api/speakers	GET retrieves speaker's records
/api/speakers/	POST inserts speakers' record
/api/speakers/:speaker_id	GET retrieves a single record
/api/speakers/:speaker_id	PUT updates a single record
/api/speakers/:speaker_id	DELETE deletes a single record
