The following methods are available for most resources. Some resources may limit who can perform certain operations. Consult documentation for individual resource types for details.
-The methods are relative to the base URI, e.g. @/arvados/v1/resource_type@. For arguments specifying a *Location* of @path@, the value of the argument is incorporated into the path portion of the URI. Arguments specifying a *Location* of @query@ are incorporated into the query portion of the URI or request body.
+The methods are relative to the base URI, e.g., @/arvados/v1/resource_type@. For arguments specifying a *Location* of @path@, the value of the argument is incorporated into the path portion of the URI. For example, a @uuid@ of @aaaaa-bbbbb-ccccccccccccccc@ in a path position yields a URI of @/arvados/v1/resource_type/aaaaa-bbbbb-ccccccccccccccc@.

h2. create
-The @create@ method creates a new object of the specified type. Note that only the listed attributes (and "standard metadata":resources.html) are set, unset attributes will get default values, and the attributes of a given resource type are fixed (you cannot introduce new toplevel attributes). It corresponds to the HTTP request @POST /arvados/v1/resource_type@. A successful create call returns a copy of the new object.

Arguments:

|_. Argument |_. Type |_. Description |_. Location |

h2. delete
-The @delete@ method deletes a object of the specified type. It corresponds to the HTTP request @DELETE /arvados/v1/resource_type/uuid@. A successful delete call returns a copy of the deleted object.

Arguments:
h2(#index). list
-The @list@ method requests an list of resources of that type. It corresponds to the HTTP request @GET /arvados/v1/resource_type@. All resources support listing with unless otherwise noted.

|_. Argument |_. Type |_. Description |_. Location |
-|limit |integer|Maximum number of resources to return. May also be subject to server limit.|query|
-|offset |integer|Skip the first 'offset' resources that match the given filter conditions.|query|
-|filters |array |Conditions for selecting resources to return (see below).|query|
+|limit |integer|Maximum number of resources to return. If not provided, server will provide a default limit. Server may also impose a maximum number of records that can be returned in a single request.|query|
+|offset |integer|Skip the first 'offset' number of resources that would be returned under the given filter conditions.|query|
+|filters |array |"Conditions for selecting resources to return.":#filters|query|
|order |array |Attributes to use as sort keys to determine the order resources are returned, each optionally followed by @asc@ or @desc@ to indicate ascending or descending order.
Example: @["head_uuid asc","modified_at desc"]@
Default: @["created_at desc"]@|query|
Default: all available attributes. As a special case, collections do not return "manifest_text" unless explicitly selected.|query|
|distinct|boolean|@true@: (default) do not return duplicate objects
@false@: permitted to return duplicates|query|
+|count|string|@"exact"@ (default): Include an @items_available@ response field giving the number of distinct matching items that can be retrieved (irrespective of @limit@ and @offset@ arguments).
+@"none"@: Omit the @items_available@ response field. This option will produce a faster response.|query|
-h3. filters
+h3(#filters). Available list method filters
The value of the @filters@ parameter is an array of conditions. The @list@ method returns only the resources that satisfy all of the given conditions. In other words, the conjunction @AND@ is implicit.
