20:38 Trindaz A terminology question.
20:38 Trindaz What "kind" of endpoint is /api/myEntities/ (which returns a list of items), vs. /api/myEntities/12345 (which returns one entity that has an id 12345)
20:39 Trindaz e.g. is one a "directory" endpoint while another is a "object" endpoint? What terms should I use here when describing an API.
20:39 pdurbin Trindaz: maybe a "collection"
20:39 Trindaz ok, so maybe "collection" and "resource" endpoints?
20:40 trygvis Trindaz: you normally don't describe URLs in REST
20:40 adaro joined #rest
20:40 trygvis you follow link relations, or work on URLs you find in the document
20:40 Trindaz thanks trygvis, what notation should I use to describe those concepts then? as examples of the endpoint I mean.
20:41 trygvis I'm saying that the concept doesn't exist :)
20:42 trygvis the link relation has the information you need
20:44 Trindaz trygvis forgive me, but my understanding of REST is pretty naive, thinking of it as basically JSON over HTTP. Where at http://code.google.com/p/implementing-rest can I read more about the link relation concept?
20:46 trygvis try searching for link relation on that page
20:47 trygvis http://roy.gbiv.com/untangled/2008/rest-apis-must-be-hypertext-driven
20:47 trygvis roy fielding defined REST
20:56 Trindaz trygvis what is an example of a RESTful API being implemented oversomething other than HTTP (thereby making URIs irrelevant)?
20:57 Trindaz maybe this is an example? https://www.meteor.com/ddp
20:57 trygvis the URI is irrelevant even if you're using HTTP
21:02 whartung REST is about resource and their representations. Not URIs
21:03 whartung Obvisouly, we must be talking nonsesne...
21:04 fumanchu any sufficiently-advanced technical discussion is indistinguishable from nonsense
21:04 whartung +1 lol
21:04 whartung absoultely right
21:05 trygvis hehe
21:05 fumanchu kudos to pdurbin for trying to answer the OP's question
21:11 trygvis :)
21:12 * pdurbin dances
21:13 pdurbin if anyone is an "owner" of an org on github, check this out post I made yesterday: http://crimsonfu.github.io/2015/02/22/owners-of-organizations-on-github-should-carefully-set-up-third-party-application-restrictions.html

21:21 whartung what's a "github organization"?
21:22 trygvis a non-personal account
21:22 whartung ah ok
21:22 pdurbin yeah, like https://github.com/google
21:22 whartung I should register with github some day
21:23 pdurbin a githubber replied to that post here: https://github.com/mozillascience/site/issues/11#issuecomment-75589627
