Alas, delicious's API is not really REST at all; REST implies that every object has a URI. Since we don't expose internal database IDs, it's a little ugly to do, so we just use ?url=..... /posts/get would be a "method" -- the fact that it has slashes in it is not terribly important. Joshua
_____ From: ydn-delicious@yahoogroups.com [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Brett OConnor Sent: Sunday, June 18, 2006 9:15 AM To: ydn-delicious@yahoogroups.com Subject: [ydn-delicious] API Verbiage Question Hmm, maybe this is a REST thing... but I was wondering about some of the naming in the del.icio.us API. Clearly, things like "Update" and "Posts" are called methods. The query string dealies are called arguments, like &tag and what not. What are things like Post's "get" and "recent" called. Are they sub-methods? Also arguments? Just curious. Thanks. Brett [Non-text portions of this message have been removed] ------------------------ Yahoo!
