The best way to implement authentication for a REST API
We develop social-based applications for mobile. Every application consumes RESTful API web-services. When I implement login I usually store the username and password somewhere on device. Then I send them and as a response I get access to my profile. But I also know there’s another way to do this.
Does decoupling trump DRY in REST?
I am building a REST API to expose most of functionality of an existing Java API. Both APIs are for internal use within my organization; I do not have to design for external use. I have influence over both APIs but am implementing the REST one. The Java API will continue to be used for local applications (it’s not being “retired”), but the REST API will be used for significant new development.
Implementing the command pattern in a RESTful API
I’m in the process of designing an HTTP API, hopefully making it as RESTful as possible.
RESTful Design: Multiple Relationships Between the Same 2 Entities

What’s a good strategy for managing static data in an SOA?
I’m working on a web application that sits on top of a number of RESTful web services, interacting primarily with those services through JSON formatted messages over HTTP. Our application has a great deal of static data that are read from these services (internationalization lookups, configuration, etc.) during operation.
Will Authentication over HTTPS Slow My Application?
I am building a web application and RESTful web service.
Database data structures for RESTful api
I am creating a RESTful API. I am struggling to decide on the best way to design my database tables around my resources.
When to use nested resources in a RESTful API
I have two resources: users and links.
Is it possible to use a “non-commercial” REST API in a for-pay app?
I am interested in integrating the results of 3rd-party news API’s into my for-pay application. The APIs would be a very small part of the app (e. g. the app is not just reselling the APIs). I have found that many APIs such as Yahoo have “non-commercial” conditions like the following:
