Thread:Talk:Requests for comment/API Future/Cacheable requests, URLs, and cache purging?/reply (6)

The existing (and the planned v2) API is not really amenable to a REST request structure: too many options, and there's not really a good way for a REST request to express a query for multiple objects at once.

REST may have its niche for fetching single page and single section content, but trying to shove the entire API into that model is IMO trying to cram a hypercube into a round hole.
