 <h2 id=divingin>Diving In</h2>
 <p class=f>HTTP web services are programmatic ways of sending and receiving data from remote servers using nothing but the operations of <abbr>HTTP</abbr>. If you want to get data from the server, use <abbr>HTTP</abbr> <code>GET</code>; if you want to send new data to the server, use <abbr>HTTP</abbr> <code>POST</code>. Some more advanced <abbr>HTTP</abbr> web service <abbr>API</abbr>s also define ways of modifying existing data and deleting data, using <abbr>HTTP</abbr> <code>PUT</code> and <abbr>HTTP</abbr> <code>DELETE</code>. In other words, the &#8220;verbs&#8221; built into the <abbr>HTTP</abbr> protocol (<code>GET</code>, <code>POST</code>, <code>PUT</code>, and <code>DELETE</code>) map directly to application-level operations for retrieving, creating, modifying, and deleting data.
 
-<p>The main advantage of this approach is simplicity, and its simplicity has proven popular with a lot of different sites. Data &mdash; usually <abbr>XML</abbr> data &mdash; can be built and stored statically, or generated dynamically by a server-side script, and all major programming languages (including Python, of course!) include an <abbr>HTTP</abbr> library for downloading it. Debugging is also easier; because each &#8220;call&#8221; to the web service had a unique <abbr>URL</abbr>, you can load it in your web browser and immediately see the raw data.
