In which cases for security reasons should POST be used instead of GET for read operations?

POST should be used instead of GET for read operations when:

• Confidential data (such as tokens, passwords) are transmitted in the request that should not be visible in the URL and browser or proxy logs.
• The request data volume is too large for a URL (URL length limitations).
• It is necessary to prevent caching of the request, as GET requests are usually cached.
• To avoid the possibility of accidentally repeating the request when refreshing the page or navigating back.

For example, if an API returns data based on complex filters that include sensitive information, it is better to use POST with parameters in the request body to avoid exposing this data in the URL.
