## What Jamie wrote

API design is hard, and Seemann hits on a particularly important topic here. I would guess that the majority of REST API's you would sample would use ID's of various sorts and URL templates. This works, but is hard to maintain. Using URL's directly in the API response allows for much more agility in the future.
