   Right, there's a great many blog posts that can be TL;DRed as "We implemented REST wrong, and it didn't work. I guess REST is overrated." There's two major components that makes an API truly REST, as opposed to the XML-RPC and SOAP-style APIs that were popular in the early 2000s: Proper use of the HTTP verbs, and the use of Hypermedia. Most so-called RESTful APIs have adopted the verbs part of it successfully and co…

   Can I have a few more upvotes please? This is the only way to do it. There's currently two root posts above this one advocating the incorrect way, with versions in the URL. By doing it this way, you don't break links when you want to bump versions.
