Two questions
Hi, I have just recently stumbled across this, and it's basically perfect for my website, and have a couple questions about library use-
First question: Some of my API is GET-based. I'm having a difficult time working out how to specify what HTTP method my client will use. Second question: Seeing as some of my API uses GET requests, I can't pass parameters, how do I prevent internal errors from occurring when I supply no parameters to my GET-based APIs?
Thanks!
Hey, just wondering why you need the GET requests? The purpose of POST is so that we can always include a bundle of parameters and that we don't really need to think about it cause it's meant to be rpc. Is it impossible to switch to using POST?
We use GET requests, because it's fetching static, unauthenticated (from the perspective of the API) data. I'm writing essentially a home-grown React CMS, and I need to GET information from an endpoint that uses the HTTP_REFERRER to figure out what site you're looking at. I know it's not great, but it's a start.
Sorry, I'm still not understanding why you can't use a POST request from your react app, the fact that it's static and unauthenticated is not an issue?

It's a pain to get POST requests to work on laravel, and I'd rather not unprotect routes just because they don't require authentication. It's just easier for me to work with GET requests, since these dont' need to pass any data. But either way, I'll figure something out. Thanks!
