This chapter provides step-by-step instructions on how to perform basic CRUD operations (Create, Read, Update, and Delete) using Morph’s API. Through this tutorial, you can easily start working with Morph’s database.

In this example, the API is invoked using the cURL command, so you can try it out by pasting the command into your terminal environment or an API client tool such as Postman.
