HTTP GET example

Using the resource from the server, we perform GET on the resource:

The server responds with a 200 status, which is OK:

The server returns the data that we have requested:

GET is idempotent, when we make the very first time request, we get a response. Making the same request will return the same response. This also ties into the REST principle of stateless. In order for this GET request to return the same data, the server should be stateless.
