The API Dispatch #12: Haters gonna HATEOAS
Read OriginalThis article from 'The API Dispatch' newsletter examines the potential resurgence of hypermedia and HATEOAS in API design, driven by the needs of AI agents. It discusses a prediction that RESTful APIs may be replaced by single POST prompt endpoints, and features insights from Mike Amundsen on hypermedia history and its cooperative vs. competitive nature. The piece also highlights Darrel Miller's claim that web APIs are broken due to tight coupling, and proposes self-describing media types as a fix. Aimed at developers and tech enthusiasts, it connects historical concepts to modern AI-driven challenges.
