Espresso provides an API as soon as you register your database. It introspects the database schema and populates the repository with the required metadata. Each table becomes a REST endpoint with services such as pagination, filtering, and optimistic locking out-of-the-box.
But, the person can read all rows from the table. You could try to use a view but probably, you would just implement some filtering in your proxy. “Just implement some filtering” becomes a problem when the HTTP Plugin is your proxy. There’s no script language, you can’t do that. Unless, there was a script language built-in to the proxy…
In this article, Stefan Tilkov explains some of the most common anti-patterns found in applications that claim to follow a "RESTful" design and suggests ways to avoid them: tunneling everything through GET or POST, ignoring caching, response codes, misusing cookies, forgetting hypermedia and MIME types, and breaking self-descriptiveness.

seconded, it's amazing how many people claim to make "REST APIs", but they fall so short in a lot of aspects. DRF makes it almost impossible if used correctly. "
Code Example: https://github.com/vladimir-dejanovic/grpc-bank-example You heard of "new thing" called gRPC and promises that it will solve all issues for you, …
Let’s face it, if you’re a web developer, you deal with APIs. Whether you write your own or use someone else’s, it’s just part of the job. REST APIs in particular are very common place. Unfortunately…
How do we know how much Restful API is? Some developers call it “Not Restful API”, some call it “Partially Restful API”, for some, it is “Fully Restful API”, and for some “It is not REST API at all or they call it SOAP based web service”. Imagine it as a spectrum from Not Restful to Fully Restful API. To know at which level API stand, Richardson introduces a model called Richardson Maturity Model. As the name itself suggests, it tells about the maturity level of REST API.
Dan Wahlin will walk us through integrating Angular with RESTful services using RxJS and Observables. For those of you who don't know Dan - he is the founder...
The OpenAPI Initiative (OAI) was created by a consortium of forward-looking industry experts who recognize the immense value of standardizing on how REST APIs are described. As an open governance structure under the Linux Foundation, the OAI is focused on creating, evolving and promoting a vendor neutral description format.
This dissertation introduces and elaborates the Representational State Transfer (REST) architectural style for distributed hypermedia systems, describing the software engineering principles guiding REST and the interaction constraints chosen to retain those principles, while contrasting them to the constraints of other architectural styles.
Representational State Transfer (REST) has gained widespread acceptance across the Web as a simpler alternative to SOAP- and Web Services Description Language (WSDL)-based Web services. Key evidence of this shift in interface design is the adoption of REST by mainstream Web 2.0 service providers -- including Yahoo, Google, and Facebook -- who have deprecated or passed on SOAP and WSDL-based interfaces in favor of an easier-to-use, resource-oriented model to expose their services. In this article, Alex Rodriguez introduces you to the basic principles of REST.
After years of dealing with REST APIs, when I first learned about GraphQL and the problems it’s attempting to solve, I could not resist tweeting the exact title of this article. Of course, back then…
RESTful API Modeling Language (RAML) makes it easy to manage the whole API lifecycle from design to sharing. It's concise - you only write what you need to define - and reusable. It is machine readable API design that is actually human friendly.
An npm package to create and expose CRUD APIs in Node.js ExpressJS projects for mongoose models. Automatically creates swagger documentation for each API.
In this post we cover best practices for writing Node.js RESTful APIs - including route naming, authentication, API testing or using proper cache headers.
PostgREST is a standalone web server that turns your PostgreSQL database directly into a RESTful API. The structural constraints and permissions in the database determine the API endpoints and operations.
