rest - Rest : How to identify an action non resource related

Question

I would like to use the Rest-Easy framework to develop my application. My application is VOIP (telephony) related. It can :

• Originate a phone call between two phone numbers
• Transfer a phone call
• Perform CRUD actions on resources

Those phone calls are not saved and thus are not considered as resources in my application.

How should I name the rest url to originate a phone call ?

• /originate/numberA,numberB
• /originate/[numberA,numberB]
• /number/numberA/originate/numberB
• other?

Same goes for transfer (where 3 parameters (phone numbers) are required).

Answer 1

REST与 URL 设计无关，也没有“REST URL”之类的东西。

但是，一旦 REST 是面向资源的，我强烈建议您选择一个描述您的资源的 URL（在您的情况下调用）。

我会推荐以下内容（在请求有效负载中发送参数）：

POST /calls HTTP/1.1
Host: example.org
Content-Type: application/json

{
  "from": "number goes here",
  "to": "number goes here"
}
