## What does HTTP status code 307 mean?

The 307 Temporary Redirect status code indicates that the resource is temporarily located at a different URI and the client must reuse the original HTTP method (e.g. POST) when making the redirected request.

## When to use it in APIs

Use when redirecting write operations (POST, PUT, DELETE) temporarily, ensuring the client resubmits the actual payload.

## How it compares to other codes

* **302 Found**: Allows clients to change the method from POST to GET, whereas 307 strictly forbids it.
