Problem/Motivation

Using the Http data fetcher, there is no way to make a POST call to an API endpoint.

Proposed resolution

Using "method: 'POST'" or "method: 'GET'" in your migration definition along with data_fetcher_plugin: http, you should be able to define the type of call you'd like to make

Remaining tasks

Test attached patch, re-work if there is a better solution.

Data model changes

Migrations would still default to GET, but using the "method" parameter inside your source structure, you can change it to POST.

@swilmes Thanks for requesting this feature. I've just faced the same case when I need to request endpoint with POST method. Your approach looks good, I just reformat it a little bit (fork and MR is created).
Needs review and testing.

Often POST requests require a body in the request. Is it possible now or should I create a ticket for that request?
Apparently it's possible configuring the request_options which are passed to Guzzle.
Here is an example of making a POST request to Alfresco API search endpoint:

  request_options:
    json:
      query:
        query: "ANCESTOR:\"workspace://SpacesStore/some-long-hash-id-value-here\" AND TYPE:\"cm:content\""
        language: lucene
      include:
        - properties
      fields:
        - modifiedAt
        - name
        - id
