GET

The GET method is used to retrieve a resource and should never be used to mutate an operation, such as updating a record. Typically, a body is not passed with a GET request; however, it is not an invalid HTTP request to do so.

Request:

GET /v1/cats HTTP/1.1

Response:

HTTP/1.1 200 OK 
Content-Type: application/json 
Content-Length: xxxx
