REST API Standards

  • All URL paths must be dashed and lowercase.

  • All URL parameters (POST, GET, etc) must be underscored and lowercase: snake_case.

  • All entities of the same type must have a common schema with a minimum set of properties.

  • Extra properties can be requested using the following notation: resource-endpoint:(extra-property1, extra-property2)

    • Extra properties can be sub-collections, relationships etc of the main resource.

  • Updating or creating an entity should return the entity if discreet.
