> the best way to design an API which is presenting your company’s data might not be to represent your current products with a REST interface, but rather to design the API from scratch, keeping it as generic as possible.

What's more generic than a REST interface?


Ah, my point was more about the data /behind/ the rest interface, not the rest interface itself. In other words, just plonking a rest interface on top of your current aggregations might not do the trick.


Ah, gotcha. Thanks for clarifying.
