Can you elaborate on why HTTP APIs cannot be REST APIs? I know a lot of http services are misclassified as REST, but why can they by definition not be?

- iio7 4y agoThis is one of my favorite posts about it. https://www.unixsheikh.com/articles/no-your-api-isnt-rest.html https://www.unixsheikh.com/articles/no-your-api-isnt-rest.ht... The author got Roy T. Fielding, one of the principle authors of the HTTP specification and the originator of the Representational State Transfer (REST), to comment on this issue by email (was since removed when the author changed his blog).
