Perhaps an obvious question, but why do APIs need to be browsable?
- tomchristie 13y agoThey don't need too, but it sure-as-hell improves accessibility & usability.
- jvehent 13y agoIf you are still asking yourself that question, I strongly recommend you read this book: http://restfulwebapis.com/ http://restfulwebapis.com/
- rajbala 13y agoIt's a legitimate question. I understand why URLs need to be browsable. How does a browsable API work when it may need certain HTTP headers, request signatures, etc?
- steveklabnik 13y agoThat's in the contents of the book.
