Oracle Cloud Fusion Rest API Overview

Today is the era of Integration , Customer already have their legacy systems ready .But what demanding is to have communication between two systems, Integration or a pipe line between these systems.
Like SOAP based webservices , Oracle has Provided inbuilt Rest API's which governs call by simple JSON Script.
This has been a BIG move to bridge different legacy systems,
For example : A third party system invokes these API and can directly create the employee, absence or get details from fusion , let say a mobile application invokes this api and create absence which directly, in real time , gets hit in cloud (oracle fusion.)
In this POST , I am taking example of Absence REST API's provided by oracle.

1) Install a tool like POSTMAN or SOAPUI or JDEVELOPER.

I will take example from POSTMAN.

Since we are creating record , method will be POST.(for reading it is GET and for update it is PATCH)
