API Guidelines

• Clients must never construct URLs without a template.
• Versioning should be done using Content Type Negotiation.
• Resources should use HTTP Caching.
• Relationships between resources should be modeled using links.
• Updates to resources should use Optimistic Concurrency using ETags.
• GET, DELETE and PUT must be idempotent.
• Pagination should use absolute ids for offset calculation instead of relative to the first page.
• Media Types should have a description of the format to expect as well as the interactions you can make when you're viewing that resource.
• The API should be explorable using a web browser.
