Maybe unpopular opinion, but i'd take this any day over a "proper" REST api requiring DELETE and PUT. Also i'd classify a REST api as anything that does http requests and consumes proper JSON. As long as this is true , the rest is squabbling :)

  As rswail said, REST doesn't need to use HTTP at all, however, if it does then it "should" use it fully including using HTTP headers for metadata. In theory, of course, you don't need anything other than POST
