BRP API / REST Principles
REST Principles
The BRP API has been designed in accordance with the REST principles. In order to comply with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), concessions have been made in applying the REST principles. The most important is the use of the POST method instead of the GET method for querying personal data. This prevents personally identifiable information (PII) from ending up in the URL of a request, and thereby in server logs.
The Dutch source contains a double negative here (“zo wordt voorkomen dat er geen PII terecht komt”), which literally states the opposite of what is meant. Translated according to the intended meaning.
