Operations that are performed by using the GET or DELETE HTTP methods do not require input values other than what is provided in the URL and headers of the client request. That is, they do not require HTTP body content to be supplied in the invocation request.

However, Location Service RESTful API operations are performed by using the POST methods require additional input data. The API takes input parameters in the form of JSON (JavaScript Object Notation) data in the body of the request.

JSON is a data exchange format based on JavaScript that is commonly used to pass information between web clients and servers over HTTP. In the body of the request, JSON data appears as one or more name-value pairs.
