  7. 7
    - Can you send data through GET ? is it recommended
    Times asked 1
    Official solution

    SimpleGET data mangta hai (read), POST data bhejta hai (create/submit).

    GETURL mein dikhta hai, bookmark ho sakta hai, browser back/refresh safe hai, data URL query mein jaata hai. Search, page open, login form dikhana.

    POSTbody mein data jaata hai, URL mein password nahi dikhta, refresh pe dubara submit ho sakta hai. Login, register, form save.

    Example

    # page dikhana

    @app.route('/login', methods=['GET', 'POST'])
    def login():
        if request.method == 'GET':
            return render_template('login.html')
        # POST: form submit
        email = request.form.get('email')
        ...

    GET se theoretically data bhej sakte ho (?q=flask), lekin create/update ke liye nahi use karna — data log/history mein save ho jaata hai, length limit hoti hai.
    HTML form default GET hota hai; method='POST' likhna zaroori hai login/register pe.

    Times asked 1
