Is the request with the POST method always used for creating a record?

The POST method in HTTP is usually used for creating resources, but not exclusively for that. POST is a versatile method that can be used to send data to the server for various purposes: creating a new record, performing actions, processing forms, etc. In REST API, resource creation is most often implemented via POST, but other scenarios are also possible, such as updating or performing operations not related to creation. Therefore, it cannot be said that POST is always used solely for creating a record.
