Create a post method in Drupal 8 I've been trying to create a post method in Drupal 8, I used the following code:

custom_rest/src/Plugin/rest/resource/CustomRestResourceUserCheck.php:

&lt;?php

namespace Drupal\custom_rest\Plugin\rest\resource;

use Drupal\Core\Session\AccountProxyInterface;
use Drupal\rest\Plugin\ResourceBase;
use Drupal\rest\ResourceResponse;
use Symfony\Component\DependencyInjection\ContainerInterface;
use Symfony\Component\HttpKernel\Exception\AccessDeniedHttpException;
use Psr\Log\LoggerInterface;

/**
 * Provides a resource to get view modes by entity and bundle.
 *
 * @RestResource(
 *   id = "custom_rest_resource_user_check",
 *   label = @Translation("Custom User Check"),
 *   uri_paths = {
 *     "canonical" = "/api/v1/custom/user_check"
 *   }
 * )
 */
class CustomRestResourceUserCheck extends ResourceBase {

  /**
   * A current user instance.
   *
   * @var \Drupal\Core\Session\AccountProxyInterface
   */
  protected $currentUser;

  /**
   * Constructs a Drupal\rest\Plugin\ResourceBase object.
   *
   * @param array $configuration
   *   A configuration array containing information about the plugin instance.
   * @param string $plugin_id
   *   The plugin_id for the plugin instance.
   * @param mixed $plugin_definition
   *   The plugin implementation definition.
   * @param array $serializer_formats
   *   The available serialization formats.
   * @param \Psr\Log\LoggerInterface $logger
   *   A logger instance.
   * @param \Drupal\Core\Session\AccountProxyInterface $current_user
   *   A current user instance.
   */
  public function __construct(
    array $configuration,
    $plugin_id,
    $plugin_definition,
    array $serializer_formats,
    LoggerInterface $logger,
    AccountProxyInterface $current_user) {
    parent::__construct($configuration, $plugin_id, $plugin_definition, $serializer_formats, $logger);

    $this-&gt;currentUser = $current_user;
  }

  /**
   * {@inheritdoc}
   */
  public static function create(ContainerInterface $container, array $configuration, $plugin_id, $plugin_definition) {
    return new static(
      $configuration,
      $plugin_id,
      $plugin_definition,
      $container-&gt;getParameter('serializer.formats'),
      $container-&gt;get('logger.factory')-&gt;get('custom_rest'),
      $container-&gt;get('current_user')
    );
  }

  /**
   * Responds to POST requests.
   *
   * Returns a list of bundles for specified entity.
   *
   * @throws \Symfony\Component\HttpKernel\Exception\HttpException
   *   Throws exception expected.
   */
  public function post() {

    // You must to implement the logic of your REST Resource here.
    // Use current user after pass authentication to validate access.
    if (!$this-&gt;currentUser-&gt;hasPermission('access content')) {
      throw new AccessDeniedHttpException();
    }

    return new ResourceResponse("Implement REST State POST!");
  }

}


I have activated:


I tested this functionality in Postman but I get the following error:


Someone may know that something is wrong?

Edit 1

Drupal version: 8.1.9
Solution:

We need a different path:

 * @RestResource(
 *   id = "custom_rest_resource_user_check",
 *   label = @Translation("Custom User Check"),
 *   uri_paths = {
 *     "https://www.drupal.org/link-relations/create" = "/api/v1/custom/user_check"
 *   }
 * )
