While not everything around REST APIs is entirely standard, there's a great deal of agreement about proper resource naming and use of HTTP verbs. If you follow these widely-used standards, not only will developers find it much easier to interact with your API, but also there is a lot of tooling and client libraries out there built specifically to work with APIs that use HTTP verbs and URIs in the standardized ways.
- iamjeff 10y agoHi. I found this site late last night while looking for material for a hobby project. Really, really awesome site. I also found the creators here [1] and here [2]...maybe you can help shoot them an e-mail so that they can acknowledge a lot of the praise on this thread and the flood of helpful suggestions. Additional contributors can also be found here [3] as well as related publications/presentations [4] including a massively interesting Reddit discussion [5].
