Post-project reflections

I was not completely satisfied with the correction requested by the mentor. In fact, there is already some requests, to get information, and the http verb used for requests is "POST". But if we have to send the accountId or transactionId in a query param, these informations were visible in the url and it's not secure, especially for a banking API. With "POST" method, the parameters were hidden in the body. So, in a real situation, I would go to the client’s security department to discuss with them the methods to use.
