Overview

A Uniform Resource Identifier (URI) is a compact sequence of characters that identifies an abstract or physical resource. An URI can be a URL or an URN. Every URL is a URI, abstractly speaking, but not every URI is a URL.

REST APIs use URIs to address resources. Best Practices for Naming REST API Endpoints contains some rules to use when creating URIs for resources.
