does it always return the data we post or it is just this API, that does that?

Web Development Techdegree Graduate 18,135 PointsHi Caleb Kemp, sorry for the late reply and thankyou for trying, actually what I was saying that, as we POST data so how was he able to get the exact data not the full data back, Coz we are able to console.log, only the data we posted

12,755 PointsSorry about that, now your question makes sense. Any API could be set up to have that functionality but doesn't have to. Returning the post data is a feature of this particular API. You can hear him mention as much in the video at the 2:02 mark. Hope that helps!

12,755 PointsSorry, I'm a little confused by the question. We can see the data he posted because he used
console.log, otherwise the Post data wouldn't have been viewable from the browser. The Post request updated the values of Guil's comments because the server was setup to handle that request. Post comments won't update anything unless the server is configured to accept them. Not sure if that helps, but I tried lolIf this still doesn't make sense, perhaps you could clarify the question a little bit? Just thinking out loud.
