In Salesforce, GET requests are used when calling the Salesforce REST API to read records, query data, or retrieve metadata.

It is one of the standard HTTP verbs alongside POST, PUT, PATCH, and DELETE.
View term → - Getter MethodsDevelopmentAdvanced
Getter Methods in Apex are methods that return the value of a class property or variable. They use the get accessor keyword and are commonly used in Visualforce controllers to make data available to Visualforce pages for display. For example, a getter method like public String getName() { return 'Hello'; } allows a Visualforce page to reference {!name} and display the returned value. Getter methods work alongside setter methods to control read and write access to controller properties.

View term → - Group MemberAdministrationIntermediate
A Group Member in Salesforce (GroupMember in the API) is a standard junction object that records a single membership relationship between a Group and either a User or another Group. Each Group Member record holds a GroupId (the parent Group - Public Group, Queue, Chatter Group, or any other system-managed group), a UserOrGroupId (the polymorphic member reference, pointing to either a User or another Group), and standard system fields. Groups in Salesforce are nestable - a Public Group can contain other Public Groups as members, and Group Member captures each level of that nesting one row at a time. Group Member is the underlying data structure behind nearly every group-based Salesforce feature: Public Group sharing rules iterate over Group Members to determine record visibility; Queue assignment routes records to Group Members; Chatter Group membership controls who can post and read; folder-access lists evaluate against Group Members. Every "who is in this Group?" question in Salesforce ultimately resolves to a Group Member SOQL query.
