The user of your API (an external developer) will create an invoice in your API with a POST request.

Then your API will (let's imagine):

* Send the invoice to some customer of the external developer.
* Collect the money.
* Send a notification back to the API user (the external developer).

When you need to send data from a client (let's say, a browser) to your API, you send it as a **request body**.

A **request** body is data sent by the client to your API. A **response** body is the data your API sends to the client.

Your API almost always has to send a **response** body. But clients don't necessarily need to send **request bodies** all the time, sometimes they only request a path, maybe with some query parameters, but don't send a body.
