Why did you choose the POST method to get the list of products instead of GET?

The POST method is chosen to obtain a list of products when the request contains complex filtering parameters or a large volume of data that is inconvenient or impossible to transmit via URL GET parameters.

For example, if filters include nested structures, arrays, or long strings, POST allows them to be sent in the request body, which simplifies processing and enhances security (for example, parameters are not visible in the URL and are not cached by the browser).

POST can also be used if obtaining the product list depends on session state or requires authentication with tokens transmitted in the request body.

However, from the perspective of REST and HTTP semantics, GET is preferable for data retrieval if there are no technical constraints.
