GET
Baseline Widely available
This feature is well established and works across many devices and browser versions. It’s been available across browsers since July 2015.
The HTTP GET method requests a representation of the specified resource.
Requests using GET should only be used to request data and shouldn't include content.
Note: While not strictly prohibited by the specification, the semantics of sending a message body in GET requests are undefined.
Some systems may reject the request with a 400 or another 4XX client error.
