13:01	Bacta	How would you go about representing an aggregate function over a resource? For example if I have a highscore board for a game and only want to return the scores for levels tagged "arcade" - I would want the total score grouped by user
13:08		dEPy joined #rest
13:11	pdurbin	Bacta: what have you tried so far?
13:12	Bacta	GET /leaderboards/<leaderboard_id> to get all rankings for a specific leaderboard
13:12	Bacta	GET /leaderboards/scopes/<scope> to get aggregate rankings for a scope (say arcade or global)
13:13	Bacta	Something about it though doesn't smell right
13:13	Bacta	Or perhaps I'm overcooking it?
13:13	* locks	is interested in this question
13:13	locks	what about query params?
13:14	locks	/leaderboards?scope=arcade
13:14	pdurbin	how about GET /leaderboards/global
13:17	Bacta	Well there's no indication in /leaderboards?scope=arcade or /leaderboards/global that an aggregate is applied behind the scenes
13:18	Bacta	Also you have inconsistencies with /leaderboards/global because you could also have /leaderboards/<some_uuid>
13:18	Bacta	Or is that not something to be concerned about?
13:19	locks	does it matter that it's an aggregate in that way?
13:19	pdurbin	hmm, yeah, inconsistent
13:20	Bacta	Another option I was toying with was /leaderboards/<uuid> and /scopes/<scope_uuid> but you've then got two routes for data that is very similar
13:20	Bacta	*/scopes/<scope_uuid>/leaderboards
13:28	pdurbin	I have an unrelated question...
13:28	pdurbin	endpoint?pretty=true
13:28	pdurbin	or
13:28	pdurbin	endpoint?indent=true
13:29	pdurbin	... for pretty printing some JSON output... which do you like better? "pretty" or "indent". Solr uses "indent" but I've seen "pretty" in plenty of places

15:25	* pdurbin	went with "pretty": http://stackoverflow.com/questions/23007567/java-json-pretty-print-javax-json/25206426#25206426
15:37	fumanchu	wow. and to think the equivalent in Python would be: return json.dumps({"status": "OK", "data": ["foo", "bar"]}, indent=' ')
15:38	locks	oh god
15:39	pdurbin	heh
15:39	pdurbin	java ftw! ;)
15:39	saml	let's talk about embedded resources
15:40	saml	I have an article and the article uses an image
15:40	saml	an image is {"url":"a.jpg", "credit":"flickr"}
15:40	saml	an article is {"url":"a.html","image": {"url":"a.jpg", "credit":"flickr"}}
