SW Essential Reading List for Designing a REST API

[stuartweir]

I've curated a list of essential links to read on learning about REST APIs. It ranges from getting started with what REST APIs are, to links readers can go to to find even more information on more advanced topics such as OAuth, JWTs, Media Types, Testing, etc.

I've read through it and haven't found any spelling mistakes, and tried to remain consistent in my point of view when writing. Feel free to add/remove comments, etc as you see necessary!

@stuartweir good post! I left you some line notes. Two pieces of overall advice:

1. You should italicize (or "double quote") the article title names when you reference them in your own prose. That makes it more obvious that you're referencing it by name.
2. I'd love for you to add some kind of summarizing statement at the end to wrap it all up.

Also, once we get this published we'll want an intro blurb for you (along with a picture). Check out Dennis' for an example and please provide something for me to use.

@stuartweir oh poop, did this slip through the cracks on me?! So sorry! 😦

I'm keen on getting this published. Think it needs any love now that it's 6+ months old?
