The basic operations (create, read, update, delete) for documents are mapped to the standard HTTP methods (POST, GET, PUT, DELETE).

All indexes in ArangoDB have an unique handle. This index handle identifies an index and is managed by ArangoDB. All indexes are found under the URI

http://server:port/_api/index/index-handle

For example: Assume that the index handle is demo/63563528 then the URL of that index is:

http://localhost:8529/_api/index/demo/63563528
