如何发送宁静的帖子请求？

Question

I am new to restful web development. I have tried to search for this but could not find an answer. In a restful api how do we send data to a post request? Is it sent as a query parameter. Since in a post request the data is sent using the request body using forms. How do I pass data when developing an API? is it sent as a uri parameter similar to how it happens in get request? Can you give an example post request in a rest api. For example if I want to make a post request to enter data of a student Post /student/new/?name=xys&age=28 Is this valid?

Programming languages/frameworks designed to handle and make web-requests normally give you easy access to the GET or POST parameters OR give you an easy way to pass your POST parameters (all you have to do usually is mention the data as key-value pairs in an object or dictionary and the language/framework will do the work for you).

For example, this is a javascript example using jQuery:

$.post("your.api.endpoint.url", { key1:"value1", key2:"value2"});

After making this request, you should be able to open up developer tools in your browser (Ctrl+Shift+I in Chrome) and view the request headers and body and see the key value pairs at the bottom of the request body.
