Considering this is relating to an API, the mention of whether to use GET or another method implies a REST API, in which case GET is described as:

> safe, meaning that applying it to a resource does not result in a state change of the resource (read-only semantics)

It should never be used to -create- anything, only to retrieve existing resources (and not change their state). For creating we have POST requests. Obviously no one is going to care or do anything about it if you use GET, but if we're going to be pedantic le t's not mischaracterise GET requests.
