This week in GSoC: REST APIs and their specifications! The former half of the week I was travelling for the 4th of July, but the latter half of week I started writing the specification for the REST API. I learned that there is basically no standard for specificying a REST API, and actually there’s quite a bit of disagreement on how this should be done. I also learned that the endpoints of the API are supposed to be nouns, so the endpoints I proposed in my proposal are completely off the mark. I don’t have enough of the specification complete to submit it for review yet, but I hope to accomplish this next Monday.
