The PUT method in Python’s requests library is used to update or replace a resource at a specified URL on the server. When using this method, you send data that will overwrite the current resource at the given endpoint. It is commonly used to update information, such as modifying a user’s details or changing the content of an existing item.
To use the PUT method, you send a request with the data that should replace the existing resource. The server responds with a status code, indicating the success or failure of the operation, and the response body may contain further details about the result.
