React apollo sends POST request instead of GET while querying graphql - reactjs

Question

I'm trying to get more familiar with graphql using react-apollo and I'm stuck for a while now.
I just want to query movies by name from a gql server, but no luck so far. My problem is that when I make the request I get an error that says:
POST https://tmdb.sandbox.zoosh.ie/dev/grphql 400
However I want to make a GET request. I tried to specify the request method in the apollo client, but no luck either.
index.js
import React from "react";
import ReactDOM from "react-dom/client";
import {
ApolloClient,
InMemoryCache,
ApolloProvider,
HttpLink,
} from "#apollo/client";
import "./index.css";
import App from "./App";
const client = new ApolloClient({
cache: new InMemoryCache(),
link: new HttpLink({
uri: "https://tmdb.sandbox.zoosh.ie/dev/grphql",
method: "GET",
}),
connectToDevTools: true,
});
const root = ReactDOM.createRoot(document.getElementById("root"));
root.render(
<React.StrictMode>
<ApolloProvider client={client}>
<App />
</ApolloProvider>
</React.StrictMode>
);
MovieList.js
import React from "react";
import { useQuery, gql } from "#apollo/client";
const SEARCH_MOVIES = gql`
query SearchMovies($movieTitle: String!) {
movies(query: $movieTitle) {
id
name
score
genres {
name
}
overview
releaseDate
}
}
`;
const MovieList = () => {
const { loading, error, data } = useQuery(SEARCH_MOVIES, {
variables: {
movieTitle: "fight club",
},
});
if (loading) return <p>Loading...</p>;
if (error) return <p>Error :(</p>;
return (
<>
<div>MovieList</div>
<ol>
{data.movies.map((movie) => (
<li key={movie.id}>{movie.name}</li>
))}
</ol>
</>
);
};
export default MovieList;
Now I would appriciate, if someone could help me out what the problem might be, because my eyes can't see it. I searched all over the internet, but didn't find any usable resource regarding the topic.
Thanks for the replies in advance!:)

You can use useGETForQueries as constructor options.
docs
const client = new ApolloClient({
cache: new InMemoryCache(),
link: new HttpLink({
uri: "https://tmdb.sandbox.zoosh.ie/dev/grphql",
useGETForQueries: true
}),
connectToDevTools: true,
});
