In a RESTful API, a URI uniquely identifies a resource. Resource identification is part of the uniform interface: clients can refer to resources without depending on how the server implements the API. section 1.1.4
Uri
A URL is a Uniform Resource Locator that identifies the location of a resource or service on a network.
How Building Web APIs with ASP.NET Core covers it
- How deep it goes
- States the unique-identification requirement but does not explain URI syntax or construction.
- Examples
- Places resource identification near an HTTP request–response diagram, without giving a sample URI.
- What you can do after
- Evaluate/understand why a RESTful resource needs a unique identifier.
- How it connects
- Connects resource identification to REST’s uniform interface and client–server decoupling.
