API DesignFoundational

Which HTTP method choice correctly reflects REST semantics for an operation that creates a new resource and is NOT safe to blindly retry as-is?

A

PUT, because creating a resource must always be idempotent

B

GET, because it is cacheable and convenient for creation

C

POST, which is neither safe nor idempotent and is the standard verb for creating a subordinate resource

D

DELETE, since creation and deletion are interchangeable
