Since I will not be creating a session and simply just getting the user with the specified username and password should I use GET instead of POST?

    It's not exactly clear what you mean by "just getting the user with the specified username and password" or what you're trying to do at the game end? – craftworkgames Dec 10 '20 at 03:40

Does the endpoint needs to receive any sensitive data from your request?

If yes, I would strongly recommend to use POST method in this case.

The first reason for that is that GET method, in case you are providing some data (e.g: username, password) will contain it in the query string. However, post will put it to the body of your request.

Also some differences to be aware of:

  • GET requests can be cached
  • GET requests remain in the browser history
  • GET requests can be bookmarked

Some similar question you can see here For Login GET or POST?
