> "On the Web, a resource is a unit of information or service." Does the inclusion of "service" mean it is logical for an API to accept different "actions" as

  Making each method it's own resource is a kind of interesting challenge. I'd vastly prefer to see individual metric data resources exposed as such- each with their own url- or with range urls- instead of passing a generic DAO endpoint a payload requesting some metrics. But at some point I am sympathetic to the query simply being too verbose to handle. Microsoft's OData was an interesting walking the line act. It was a fairly genuine attempt to make a webful, url-ish way of querying for data. Part of me still thinks it was a great idea part of me thinks it's not in the least different from GetMetricData, even though it's generic, even though it's urlish and rangeful; it's still not passing some sniff tests.
