Clarification $http service vs custom service in angular1.4

Question

I am taking two different classes on Udemy and started with angular2 so I understand ng2's service approach. Now I'm learning angular 1, can someone clarify angular1's $http service for me? Do I use it in a custom service? or is it the service that goes within a controller? Basically what's the best practice for a non crud $http GET of json

You can do either but I think most people would recommend that you use it in a custom service. — jbrown

So do I inject the HTTP service object? all the custom service examples I see don't have dependency injection, they just look like normal functions — SD Dev

Yes, inject $http where you need to use it....service, controller or directive etc — charlietfl

The common agreed upon best practice is to separate all your $http requests from your controllers in a service/factory.

This guide is great if you've got a good grasp on Javascript but are looking for some best practice suggestions for Angular 1.x:
