# HTTP Requests

## GET vs POST Requests

![](/files/jmm0tynKSCC1CugRQGIJ)

* The Requests themselves are similar

There is one major difference:

* GET gets data from the server 
  * Example: Hey server... get me some data

* While POST sends data to the server 
  * Example: Hey server... here is some data, do what you need with it
  * You would use POST to create things on remote server via API (or other)

{% hint style="info" %}
Example: You want to create a Facebook status update

* You would send the TITLE
* CONTENT
* etc....

This is done via a POST Request
{% endhint %}

# Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation

If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.arkannis.net/programming/postman/http-requests.md?ask=<question>
```

The question should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
