REST is the definition of a buzzword. Vague. Useless. Everyone talks about it, but no one ever &#x27;understands&#x27; it.  You make your API REST not because you think it&#x27;s good, but because everyone else does it. It&#x27;s instant karma. Like XML was 10 years ago. Who cares if you have to make a lot of ugly confusing endpoints - at least you can call your API RESTful.<p>I like how Dropbox bucked the trend and went with a simple POST based API. JSON parameters in. JSON response out. No complicated urls, strange headers, verbs, hateoas, etc..<p><a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.dropbox.com&#x2F;developers&#x2F;documentation&#x2F;http&#x2F;documentation" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.dropbox.com&#x2F;developers&#x2F;documentation&#x2F;http&#x2F;docume...</a>
