It is HTTP basics. I have just re-phrased details from RFC 9110 and RFC 
9111 to make them clearer in context of this conversation.

The details about methods can be found in 
https://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc9110#name-methods

The requirements on caches are covered in 
https://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc9111#name-overview-of-cache-operation.

Without knowing the details of your service API it is hard to answer 
that question. From what you have mentioned so far I believe so. Or at 
least it is the method most easily altered when you want non-default 
behaviour to occur.
