@stuartweir oh poop, did this slip through the cracks on me?! So sorry! 😦 I'm keen on getting this published. Think it needs any love now that it's 6+ months old? |
I've curated a list of essential links to read on learning about REST APIs. It ranges from getting started with what REST APIs are, to links readers can go to to find even more information on more advanced topics such as OAuth, JWTs, Media Types, Testing, etc.
I've read through it and haven't found any spelling mistakes, and tried to remain consistent in my point of view when writing. Feel free to add/remove comments, etc as you see necessary!
