POST  RANDOM/

The se

Answer 1

• definition of REST-call with GET: the result have to be the same -> not GET.
• definition of REST-call with PUT: the result of the call can be repeatable, the server should not have problem with it -> use PUT

POST is the weakest method and can used if other are not useful.

Why not GET: the result of GET-call can be cachet (cache-header, etag oder transparent proxies) and you dont will get random results ...
