_x000D_ _x000D_ When creating REST APIs, are there any guidelines or defacto standards for naming conventions within the API (eg: URL endpoint path components, querystring parameters)? Are camel caps the norm, or underscores? others? For example: api.service.com/helloWorld/userId/x or api.service.com/hello_world/user_id/x Note: This is not a question of RESTful API design, rather the naming convention guidelines to use for the eventual path components and/or query string parameters used. Any guidelines would be appreciated.

_x000D_ I think you should avoid camel caps. The norm is to use lower case letters. I would also avoid underscores and use dashes instead So your URL should look like this (ignoring the design issues as you requested :-)) api.service.com/hello-world/user-id/x
