<Additional information about your API call. Try to use verbs that match both request type (fetching vs modifying) and plurality (one vs multiple).>

  <The URL Structure (path only, no root url)>

• Method:

  <The request type>

  GET | POST | DELETE | PUT

  <If URL params exist, specify them in accordance with name mentioned in URL section. Separate into optional and required. Document data constraints.>

  Required:

  id=[integer]

  Optional:

  photo_id=[alphanumeric]

• Data Params

  <If making a post request, what should the body payload look like? URL Params rules apply here too.>

• Success Response:

  <What should the status code be on success and is there any returned data? This is useful when people need to to know what their callbacks should expect!>

  • Code: 200
    Content: { id : 12 }

• Error Response:

  <Most endpoints will have many ways they can fail. From unauthorized access, to wrongful parameters etc. All of those should be liste d here. It might seem repetitive, but it helps prevent assumptions from being made where they should be.>

  OR

    Content: { error : "Email Invalid" }

• Sample Call:

  <Just a sample call to your endpoint in a runnable format ($.ajax call or a curl request) - this makes life easier and more predictable.>

• Notes:

  <This is where all uncertainties, commentary, discussion etc. can go. I recommend timestamping and identifying oneself when leaving comments here.>
