GET /api/add-a-comment?message=disagree

'(to) comment' is already a verb.

GET, COMMENT, PUT, UPDATE, DELETE. Yeah, makes sense. Now we only need an alternative for PUT to backcronym CRUD. RIPOSTE?

I was referring to that the PATH could just be named /api/comment?... , because comment is already a verb.

This is exactly the kind of pointless discussion around rest apis

The naming of endpoints is not specific to REST actually.

URIs/paths are meant to point at resources/documents and therefore ideally should not contain verbs.

The word comment can be both a verb and a noun though. Are we pedantic enough yet? (:

Then naming it 'comment' rather than 'add-a-comment' makes even more sense.

You’re using GET to Post a comment. Feels like another method is more appropriate.

Update: It clicked now…

GET /it?now
