This discuss some option for the GET vs POST.
In Kibana, everything is done over GET as get parameters, and I find that extremely annoying and a poor design.
A lot of public APIs also don't honor or have any intentions in supporting or using PATCH. Most APIs I have worked with only use PUT for modification. Anything resembles "creation" is automatically a POST.
- ams6110 10y agoI have worked with some systems that do not expose all http methods. Having a fallback way to invoke a method as a GET or POST makes your API more usable to more clients.
- balls187 10y agoAn advantage of GET for all APIs is simplifying access to the API via a web browser.

- yeukhon 10y agoWe ran into a situation exactly like that. We hit the limit of the length of GET. Thanks.
