Hi,  
Ignition version : 8.1.26  
In the webdev module, with the Python resource, I would like to separate my inserts (POST) from my updates (PUT).  
I'm using postData for the doPost but I can't find an equivalent for the doPut.  
Sending data inside the body seems to be the preferred way from our ERP (in contrast to params).

Are the params the only alternative ? Or is the "putData" planned in a future release ?  
Thanks

`postData` is just an alias available while in a POST request for the common `data` key. You should just use `data` in both handlers.

Ho, perfect.  
The postData in the docs made me not look at data 🙂  
Thanks
