Only call PUT if any changes are needed?

[chris-richmond-wellsky]

If I'm using a resource like this:

resource "restapi_object" "put_request" {
  path         = "/api/v1/resources/BBBBB"
  id_attribute = "resourceID"
  object_id    = "BBBBB"
  data         = "{\"resourceID\": \"BBBBB\", \"resourceTypeID\": 1, \"resourceName\": \"my-dead-tf-app\"}"
}

that PUT endpoint is a createorupdate type of operation so it will create if it does not exist, or update if the resource ID does exist.

I was able to get that resource created just fine. But I am unclear but it will call this method on any TF plan/apply cluttering up the tf plans and needlessly calling this every time at TF apply takes place.
I am unclear as to the best approach to only have the plan show a change for this if the object doesn't exist or if any values change. I

Essentially I'm thinking this should rely on a GET first to verify existence/existing data somehow, but now sure the best way to accomplish this with the module? Can this be done all in one with a configuration?
