Create a endpoint which is of POST type

Hi,   Normally when we create endpoint and expose it to third party it is of method GET. Can we create endpoint for POST type ?

We can have post call to endpoints but we want to create endpoint which will be of POST type , exposed to third party. How can we make it ?

ADS_PSI  What I am getting here is that you are trying to use post-call on third-party inside the endpoint. Correct me if I am wrong. 
You can use post call in endpoint also. Make sure you are sending the content type also to avoid the roadblocks. Content type "application/x-www-form-urlencoded" means that your POST body will need to be URL encoded just like a GET parameter string.

Here is the syntax

<#assign http_client_request = http.client.request("https", "base_path", "api_url").body("param1=${value}","application/x-www-form-urlencoded").post() />
<#if http_client_request.hasError>
${http_client_request.error.message}
<#else>
${http_client_request.content}
</#if>

    VikasB No we are not making post call from studio endpoint to third party. We want to make such an endpoint which will be exposed to third party and it should be avialable to them as POST type call only. 
    kind of flow :

                                          POST call  to modify some data in lithium

    (endpoint on lithium) <------------------------------------------------------(third party xyz)

      Hi ADS_PSI,

      You want to expose the lithium endpoint to third party and make users subscribe from third party module?

      Is this the expected flow:
      subscribe button in third party -> call to lithium endpoint(having the subscribing code)

        him_varma yes similar kind of flow . But only condition that it should be allowed for POST method.
