How do I get around a 414 URI too long error?

Post Body

Hi,

I maintain a website where the user is able to send GET requests that include filter criteria to retrieve their data. The problem is, the URI can get too long if they have too many filters. I know we can get around this by doing a POST request but doesn't this conflict with industry standards? From what I understand, sending a POST request will typically mean that you are creating/modifying data. Is there another approach that I am missing? Is using a POST request to retrieve data considered bad practice?

Thanks in advance!
