The method
Resources are pluralized and nested by relationship, following common REST API conventions used across most public APIs.
FAQ
What naming convention does this follow?
Plural, noun-based resource paths with nested relationships expressed as sub-paths — for example /customers/:customerId/invoices — a widely used REST convention.
Does it suggest the HTTP method too?
Yes — based on the action you describe (list, create, update, delete), it suggests the matching HTTP verb alongside the path.
Can I use this for GraphQL or RPC-style APIs?
This tool is built around REST conventions specifically — GraphQL and RPC-style APIs follow different naming patterns.
