 Let's review the definitions of words and the roles of methods. For
 example, suppose we receive the following request:

 {{{
 /wp/v2/posts/123/?param=value
 }}}

 This is my understanding, but please correct me if I'm wrong.

 - **URL Parameter**: The `123` in the URL corresponds to this. This can be
 obtained using the `get_url_params` method.
 - **Query Parameter**: The `param=value` in the URL corresponds to this.
 This can be obtained using the `get_query_params` method.

 Since the Settings endpoint does not accept the URL parameter, the
 `get_url_params()` method should not be necessary.
