Can a resource exist only through a collection ?

[Simon Renoult]

Hi,

I'm working on an endpoint where a subresource of this endpoint is a collection that does not allow identification. This is what it looks like :

/products/<id>

/products/<id>/prices 

Since the endpoint /products/<id>/prices returns:

[{ value: 102, currency: 'EUR', expires_at: 1475855928 }, { value: 110, currency: 'EUR', expires_at: 1475859528 }, ...]

 

The endpoint /products/<id>/prices/<id> can't be.

Though my example seems to make sense, is it valid? Is there an rfc somewhere that contradicts this approach?

Thanks for you help !

you have full control over your URL design and there is no IETF standard that sets requirements on what MUSt appear where. what you describe here is just fine -- and quite common.

there is an RFC that offers guidance that you should keep handy, tho:

https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc7320

Cheers.
