What data is sent in the body of a POST request to get a list of products?

In the body of a POST request to retrieve a list of products, filtering, sorting, and pagination parameters are usually sent. This allows the server to return only the necessary data.

Example of data in the request body (JSON):

{
  "category": "electronics",
  "price_min": 100,
  "price_max": 1000,
  "sort_by": "popularity",
  "page": 1,
  "page_size": 20
}

Explanation:

• category — filter by product category.
• price_min and price_max — price range.
• sort_by — sorting criterion (e.g., by popularity, price).
• page and page_size — pagination parameters to split the result into pages.

This structure allows flexible product requests without overloading the network and server.
