Which REST methods are non-idempotent?

Answer from AI
In REST, methods are considered idempotent if repeated calls with the same parameters do not change the server's state after the first request.
Idempotent methods:
- GET
- PUT
- DELETE
- HEAD
- OPTIONS
Non-idempotent method:
- POST
POST is used to create new resources or perform operations that change the server's state and may create duplicates or have other side effects when called repeatedly. Therefore, POST is not considered idempotent.
