## Publishing a REST API
184+
185+
Create a published REST service with CRUD operations backed by microflows.
186+
187+
```sql
188+
CREATE PUBLISHED REST SERVICE Module.OrderAPI (
189+
Path: 'rest/orders/v1',
190+
Version: '1.0.0',
191+

197+
POST '/' MICROFLOW Module.PRS_CreateOrder;
198+
PUT '/{id}' MICROFLOW Module.PRS_UpdateOrder;
199+
DELETE '/{id}' MICROFLOW Module.PRS_DeleteOrder;
200+
}
201+
};
202+
```

### Multiple Resources

224+
225+
### Update or Remove
226+
227+
```sql
228+
-- Replace with new version
229+
CREATE OR REPLACE PUBLISHED REST SERVICE Module.OrderAPI (
