+## Creating resources, media and files - POST/PUT Requests 
+
+## Authorization
+
+You will need to use one of the configured authorization methods to create content, media and/or files.
+
+These are defined under [Authorization](./using-rest-endpoints.md#authorization) on the overview.
+
+## Content (Nodes)
+
+![REST configuration](../assets/rest-node-configuration.png)
+
+The above setup shows that you can perform a POST request against a node at the `/node` endpoint with a body in the JSON format.
+
+To create a node you need to provide two elements in your message body. The node type and any _required_ field values.
+
+For the islandora_demo included Repository Item these are:
+
+1. A type - this tells Drupal what content type we are creating
+1. A title - this is a required field of all nodes.
+1. A model - this is a required by Islandora to tell the type of object (ie. Image, Audio, Collection)
+
+A good way to make your first POST request is to perform a GET request against an existing node and erase all the extra content.
+
+You can find more information about [GET requests here](./rest-get.md)
+
+Again we are using the json format. 
+
+🍎 For example `curl -X GET 'http://localhost:8000/node/3?_format=json`
+
+Look for the **type** element
+
+```
+"type" : [
+  {
+    "target_id" : "islandora_object",
+    "target_type" : "node_type",
+    "target_uuid" : "62189bec-3ef3-4196-b847-b17e5ce61fd5"
+  }
+]
+```
+
+In our example "islandora_object" is the type of the default "Repository Item", if you have created a new type you will have a different target_id.
+
+You will not need the `target_uuid`.
+
+Next look for the **title** element
+
+```
+"title" : [
+  {
+    "value" : "An example Islandora object"
+  }
+]
+```
+
+Lastly look for the **field_model** element
+
+```
+"field_model": [
+  {
+    "target_id": 24,
+    "target_type": "taxonomy_term",
+    "target_uuid": "e7560b68-e95a-4e76-9671-2a3041cd9800",
+    "url": "\\/taxonomy\\/term\\/24"
+  }
+]
+```
+
+You can find the models by browsing the taxonomy terms available at `http://localhost:8000/admin/structure/taxonomy/manage/islandora_models/overview`
+
+24 is an "Image", but let's create a collection which is 23.
+
+So the body of the request will be:
+```
+{
+  "type": [
+    {
+      "target_id": "islandora_object",
+      "target_type": "node_type"
+    }
+  ],
+  "title": [
+    {
+      "value": "Created a collection with POST"
+    }
+  ],
+  "field_model": [
+    {
+      "target_id": 23,
+      "target_type": "taxonomy_term"
+    }
+  ]
+}
+```
+
+**Note**: You **must** include a **Content-type** header of type `application/json` on your request
+
+**Other Note**: You **must** include some authentication credentials to say who you are and so Drupal can check if you are allowed to create this object. Otherwise you will receive a `401 Unauthorized` response. 
+
+If you do provide credentials but don't have permission, you will recieve a `403 Forbidden` response.
+
+You can find more information about [Authorization here](./using-rest-endpoints.md#authorization)
+
+🍎 For example:
+
+```
+curl -i -X POST -u admin:islandora -H"Content-type: application/json" --data '{"type":[{"target_id":"islandora_object","target_type":"node_type"}],"title":[{"value":"Created a collection with POST"}],"field_model":[{"target_id":23,"target_type":"taxonomy_term"}]}' 'http://localhost:8000/node?_format=json'

+
+The parts of the above request are:
+
+1. `-i` - return the response headers 
+1. `-X POST` - send a POST request
+1. `-u admin:islandora` - use these basic authentication credentials
+1. `-H"Content-type: application/json"` - send the content-type header
+1. `--data {...}` - send the request body (seen above)
+1. `'http://localhost:8000/node?_format=json'` - the endpoint of the request
+
+## Files and Media
+
+Drupal is supposed to have a way to upload files, but this seems to require the use of an X-CSRF-Token, which can only be retrieved using Cookie authentication and even then does not allow you to upload.
+
+Consequently there is a REST endpoint not listed in the REST UI, because it is not configurable and is part of the Islandora 8 system.
+
+This endpoint is available at `http://localhost:8000/node/{node id}/media/{media type}/{media use}`
+
+It only accepts PUT requests. If the media and file don't exist they are created, if they exist the file is updated with the new body.
+
+The tokens to this URI are as follows:
+
+1. node id : The numeric ID of the node you wish to link this media/file to.
+1. media type : The media type name you wish to create (ie. image, file, audio)
+1. media use : The numeric ID of the media use taxonomy term to set for this media 
+
+You can find the media use taxonomy terms at `http://localhost:8000/admin/structure/taxonomy/manage/islandora_media_use/overview`
+
+So the body of the request is the actual binary file to upload.
+
+🍎 For example: 
+
+With a local file called `my-image.png` that I wanted to link to a node with ID `3`.
+
+I am using the taxonomy term "Original file", which on my machine is `16`
+
+```
+> curl -i -X PUT -u admin:islandora -H"Content-type: image/png" --data-binary "@my-image.png" -H"Content-Location: public://images/my-image.png" 'http://localhost:8000/node/3/media/image/16'
