Can we use more than one @post methods in REST API ?

Hi Ravindra,

Yes, You can use more than one @post method in REST API. But make sure that name of Parameters or no of parameters must be different.

You can also create more than one class with same URLResource but while making callout server will hit that class which has the latest modified date.
Visit the given link for more info . https://developer.salesforce.com/page/Creating_REST_APIs_using_Apex_REST
Cheers :)

Thanks,
Amit Singh.

Hi Ravindar Admin,

You can't use multiple @post methods in the same class but you can use in different class in REST API.

see the example 
@RestResource(urlMapping='/Account/*')
global with sharing class MyRestResource {

    @HttpDelete
    global static void doDelete() {
        RestRequest req = RestContext.request;
        RestResponse res = RestContext.response;
        String accountId = req.requestURI.substring(req.requestURI.lastIndexOf('/')+1);
        Account account = [SELECT Id FROM Account WHERE Id = :accountId];
        delete account;
    }
  
    @HttpGet
    global static Account doGet() {
        RestRequest req = RestContext.request;
        RestResponse res = RestContext.response;
        String accountId = req.requestURI.substring(req.requestURI.lastIndexOf('/')+1);
        Account result = [SELECT Id, Name, Phone, Website FROM Account WHERE Id = :accountId];
        return result;
    }
  
  @HttpPost
    global static String doPost(String name,
        String phone, String website) {
        Account account = new Account();
        account.Name = name;
        account.phone = phone;
        account.website = website;
        insert account;
        return account.Id;
    }
}
Thank you.
