It is important to adhere to these conventions to ensure that REST APIs are designed in a consistent and predictable manner. Using GET requests for operations that cause side effects can lead to unexpected behavior and potential issues.

GET requests are specifically meant for retrieving data from the server. They should not be used for any operations that cause changes or side effects in the system.

On the other hand, POST requests are utilized for creating new resources or data. This method is suitable for actions that have side effects, such as adding a new entry to a database.

The creation of something new is inherently a side effect in the context of REST APIs, even if it is the primary purpose of the request.
