REST API Endpoint Generator
Used by developers, writers, and creators worldwide.
A REST API endpoint generator gives you endpoint paths that follow RESTful naming conventions, so your API examples and designs read as idiomatic rather than ad hoc. Choose how many you want and it returns a shuffled set — plural nouns for collections, path parameters for single resources, nested routes for relationships, and query strings for filtering, sorting, and pagination. Developers use it when designing a new API, documenting an existing one, or teaching REST conventions, because consistent, predictable URLs are what make an API pleasant to consume. Each path pairs the right HTTP method with the right shape — GET to read, POST to create, PATCH or PUT to update, DELETE to remove. Pick the routes your resource needs, swap in your own nouns, and you have a clean, conventional API surface. Predictable endpoints mean less guessing for every developer who uses them.

FAQ
why use plural nouns for collections
Plural nouns like /users read naturally for both the collection and a single item at /users/{id}. Consistency across resources makes the whole API predictable to navigate.
which method should each endpoint use
GET reads, POST creates, PATCH or PUT updates, and DELETE removes. Matching the method to the action keeps the API idiomatic and lets caches and tools behave correctly.
where do filtering and pagination go
In the query string, not the path — like ?status=shipped&page=2. Reserve the path for identifying resources and use query parameters to filter, sort, and paginate.
