How does a large number of records affect the choice of HTTP method?

A large number of records affects the choice of HTTP method in terms of performance and semantics:

• GET is usually used to retrieve data. However, with a large volume of data, the URL can become too long, which is limited by browsers and servers.
• In such cases, it is better to use POST with a request body to pass filtering or pagination parameters.
• For create operations, use POST; for updates — PUT or PATCH; for deletions — DELETE.

For example, if you need to retrieve thousands of records with filters, it is better to send a POST request with parameters in the body to avoid URL limitations and improve data transmission reliability.
