Versioning an API
I’m starting a side project, the first stage will be a building a web application with MVC, in later stages we will be adding clients for mobile platforms. My thought was to create one API that all of the applications (web and mobile) go through to get/save data.
How to handle many arguments in an API wrapper?
I’m writing a PHP API wrapper for a third party API. I want to make all the methods consistent, but I’m not sure how to handle the number of arguments some API routes accept. One API request accepts up to 30 arguments. Obviously, it would be unwieldy to list each argument as a parameter on the method. Currently, I’m writing it to accept the required arguments as method paramaters, while all the optional ones are accepted in a final “additionalOptions” array.
How to be robust against webservice downtime caused by third parties
I’m using iPage as my cloud based server provider. I haven’t had any problems with them yet. They hold the scripts for my RESTful services for the mobile app I’m developing. My problem however is that tonight the service went down. I got a “This is a 500” error.
Is RESTful API appropriate for services which are nearly computational in nature?

I don’t believe we are talking about ‘big data.’ Our entire database is less than 20 gigs.
How to get different resources in a single endpoint in RESTful?
I have a REST webservice that have a couple of resources, like Company and User. But now I need to make a modification to the API to return a special list combining company, user and maybe other type of resource. Like a list of recommendations with various type of resources.
Software Architecture Modelling
I am a little confused at how best to visually model a space-based architecture (SBA) for presenting the system/software architecture design to a client.
