Post or Get for getting api data
I am always using post method for any api call because I looked into network tab for facebook and they do it as well for every request for messages or user data and so on, they use post method.
If I am outputing posts per username should I switch to get or it doesnt matter? I know that post is used for changing data and so on. But for fetching is there any difference?

Have a look at w3schools for a good list of differences
For me the two main things are
- get must not change any data on thd server
- get should (or probably must) not be used with sensitive data
