GET has a URL limit of around 4000 characters

  1.  
    1. If you try a GET query that has the URL length go above about 4000 characters, you will get a "Transient Error" from the Freebase API. The API should really return an error of "URL too long, use POST".

       Even though it isn't mentioned, the MQL Read does support POST. I recommend using it instead of GET.

      1. We should change the documentation; I have forwarded this suggestion, thanks.
