Abstract#

This document captures the conventions to be used for all Open edX web APIs.

Update: moved to https://openedx.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/AC/pages/18350757/edX+REST+API+Conventions.

Motivation#

The Open edX platform contains many extension points for third-party developers that wish to integrate with the platform. We wish to approach a standard methodology for API design in order to give developers more consistency in their API client design, and to make our endpoint behaviors more predictable.
