| ACTION | HTTP VERB |
|---|---|
| CREATE | POST |
| READ | GET |
| UPDATE | PUT, PATCH |
| DELETE | DELETE |
these verbs map well to:
- Create a blog post
- Read a timeline
- Update my user profile
- Delete a friend request
/blog/
GET
POST
/blog/1
GET
PUT/PATCH
DELETE
but what about these:
- a weather forecast
- book a hotel room
- request a loan rate
- sync user session
GET
POST
PUT
PATCH
DELETE
a weather forecast
which verb?
GET /forecast/29601-US/hourly
GET /forecast/29601-US/?period=hourly
GET /forecast/hourly?id=29601,US
GET /forecast?id=29601,US&period=hourly
a weather forecast
which route?
let's not give up so easily
there's rarely one right answer
