Subject: Re: [api-craft] Some REST API Best Practice Questions

The fields you listed look like query parameters to me so I think the right thing is to put them in the URL.  Why? Well caching a GET request like that is normally done using the origin URL if you craft your response differently based on something other than the URL an intermediate cache could serve the wrong data.
