does it always return the data we post or it is just this API, that does that?

12,754 PointsSorry about that, now your question makes sense. Any API could be set up to have that functionality but doesn't have to. Returning the post data is a feature of this particular API. You can hear him mention as much in the video at the 2:02 mark. Hope that helps!

12,754 PointsSorry, I'm a little confused by the question. We can see the data he posted because he used![:grinning: :grinning:](https://image-proxy-cdn.teamtreehouse.com/02e69e150955f3d52f76b2739af045560eedd0e3/68747470733a2f2f7374617469632e7465616d74726565686f7573652e636f6d2f696d616765732f656d6f6a692f756e69636f64652f31663630302e706e67)
console.log
, otherwise the Post data wouldn't have been viewable from the browser. The Post request updated the values of Guil's comments because the server was setup to handle that request. Post comments won't update anything unless the server is configured to accept them. Not sure if that helps, but I tried lolIf this still doesn't make sense, perhaps you could clarify the question a little bit? Just thinking out loud.
