It's supposed to mean that the API responds with JSON data (as opposed to, say, XML). "REST" here just means we use standard URL patterns and rely on HTTP verbs

- dekz 14y agoSorry I was probably being overly pedantic, I do understand the concepts of REST and the JSON format. I've never seen it as one buzz phrase though.
- steelaz 14y agoI wouldn't call it buzz phrase, I see JSON REST API and I know exactly what it is and what to expect from it.
- ishi 14y agoI think you're missing a "currency" field in the request, particularly since you support both AUD and USD.
