Answer 1

I recently worked with the REST API for SP 2013, as a Example POC that can be used for any call implementation i.e. JQuery, C# etc.

Using POSTMAN

First get your digest token:

A method was found on this site : http://tech.bool.se/basic-rest-request-sharepoint-using-postman/​ [Credit where credit is due]

POST

http:///sites//_api/contextinfo

Header:

Accept : application/json;odata=verbose

Body: Clear the body ​

From the payload use "FormDigestValue" value and put it into your headers with the key : X-RequestDigest when making actions that alter items in SharePoint.

Reading data:

GET

http:///sites//_api/web/getfolderbyserverrelativeurl('/Sites//Shared Documents/My Folder')/files?$select=Name

Headers:

Accept : application/json;odata=verbose​

When it comes to create, update , delete you need the digest token or an authorization token to perform these actions, this token is highlighted at the begining to to retrieve.

​Creating Data POST

http:///sites//_api/web/folders​

Headers:

Accept : application/json;odata=verbose

X-RequestDigest : 'GUID looking toking'

Content-Type : application/json;odata=verbose

Body:

{ '__metadata': { 'type': 'SP.Folder' }, 'ServerRelativeUrl': '/Sites//Shared Documents/Some Folder/POC3'}​

Note: 'ServerRelativeUrl' the folder on the end POC3 is the folder that I want to create

Note: PostMan was used for this example and other application may need you to url encode the endpoint.

The above Request Structure can be used for all requests, the related resource highlights some of the standard methods that can be used with the REST Api
