REST API Checklist

Tried to keep list concise as possible. Following points are actual specs, de facto conventions or good pratices.

• Use nouns, avoid verbs (/getAccount/123 => /accounts/123)
• Plural form
• Base url: https://api.example.com (prefered over https://example.com/api/)
• Versioning: https://api.example.com/v2/ (alternative: Accepts: application/json;application&v=2)
• camelCase (most APIs are JSON based, JSON is JavaScript, Underscores are not JS convention)
• Timestamps (2004-02-12T15:19:21+00:00 - ISO8061)
