GET and POST Methods

Your views.py file contains the implementation of various views, which handle incoming HTTP requests and return responses. For example, in the previous section, we created views for all CRUD operations, so we have access to the corresponding HTTP methods.

The POST method is typically used for creating new objects or records in a database via an API. For example, when a user submits a form to create a new user account, or when a client application sends data to add a new entry to a blog post, the POST method is used to transmit this data to the server.

The GET method is used to retrieve data from the server. It is one of the basic HTTP request methods and is used to fetch resources from a web server. In the context of DRF, the GET method is used to retrieve either a list of objects or a single object from the database via an API.
