Re: [Dev] AppFactory REST API HTTP method mis match
Hi Udara, It is implemented as POST. As a general rule, the idea of a GET in REST is that any of your parameters are sent in the URL. As you can see all of these methods required complex data and those are passed as body. Therefore these methods are implemented as POST instead of GET.

Re: [Dev] AppFactory REST API HTTP method mis match
Hi Samita, In REST world GET is used to fetch resources and POST is used to create a resource. So using POST only to fetch resources is a violation if REST convention. Touched, not typed.

Re: [Dev] AppFactory REST API HTTP method mis match
Hi Samita, Yes, as Udara said that is the standard of REST [1]. In that case, there may be some more changes in our REST API for other operation also as this standard. Better to discuss with the team whether this is possible to change right now.
