REST API endpoint wizard
Audit a pasted endpoint path, build a new one with best-practice guidance, or browse the conventions and contested topics. The whole site runs in your browser — no backend, no tracking, no cookies.
Modes
-
Audit — paste a method + path (e.g.
PUT /v1/users/42), get a per-segment breakdown, lint findings grouped by severity, and a recommended rewrite. Switch between style packs (Pragmatic REST, Google AIP, JSON:API, REST-purist) to change what's flagged. - Builder — answer two or three questions and get a recommended endpoint plus the HTTP status codes to return, with cross-links to the matching pages on status.restapi.wtf.
- Reference — browse 17 conventions across structure, methods, naming, versioning, filtering, and errors (resources-as-nouns, kebab-case, plural collections, URL versioning, …) plus 8 contested topics with multi-sided views (RPC vs state, PUT vs PATCH, nesting depth, …).
