In this case maybe, but generally GET should be avoided for any creative/transactional action because many systems will replay/cache GET requests, assuming that they’re idempotent.

Yeah the caching issue is a great reason not to use a GET, i was more just suggesting if you're being lazy and pasting a request into a browser v's using a command line (which obviously you should) then it's easy to get going quickly to kick the tires.
