It’s a good way to think about it. But note that there is more to REST, such as the methods (e.g. GET/POST/DELETE...
), the response codes (e.g. 404/503...
) etc.
Also by convention, we usually plurize the nouns. So it would be /api/users
instead of /api/user
. This is because we think of web resources almost like files in a folder. So /api/users
would be a “folder” containing all users. To access user 12345 in the users
“folder”, we would call api/users/12345
