Therefore, the data is not visible

Post by hasanthouhid0 »

For example, in the Call Record API from MTS Exolve, the SetCallRecordState method, used to enable or disable call recording, is a POST in which one part of the parameters is transmitted in the request headers, and the other in its body, in JSON format.

Differences between GET and POST
Now that we know how GET and POST work, let's look at the differences between them.

Visibility: When using GET, we have to specify the data parameters in the URL where it will be australia accountant email list visible to everyone. Conversely, the POST method requires us to specify the data in the HTTP request body, not in the URL.



Security. Since the information in the URL is publicly available, GET is not secure. On the other hand, POST is secure because it stores the data parameters in the HTTP request body, preventing them from being bookmarked by the browser. And since POST requests are not cached, the data will not remain in the intermediate proxy server. Therefore, it is suitable for those requests where security is important.

Caching. GET requests can be cached. This means that you can save bandwidth, time, and reduce the load on the HTTP server. However, this does not apply to POST requests, which cannot be cached.

Server status. GET requests cannot change data on the server, but only extract information from there.

And using POST requests, you can transfer data to the server for processing.

The amount of data transferred. Since GET transfers information via a URL, its volume is limited. Whereas POST does this in the body of the HTTP request, allowing more information to be transferred.

Data type: GET only supports string data, while POST supports various types, including numeric and binary.

Changing the server state. A GET request does not change the server state. POST can affect the server state, since it is not idempotent. GET requests data from a specific resource, and POST can also request the server to create or update a resource.

Transferring data in HTTP. Since many implementations of HTTP servers and HTTP clients impose stricter restrictions on the length of the URI than on the length of the request body, transferring long data must be done using a POST request.
