It does not depend. Fielding gave one definition of rest despite what Richardson says. But EVEN if we take Richardson, not a single level mentions href structure so again..this has nothing to do with RESTful at all.

Google and fb build tons of RESTful services. Their entire html applications are RESTful. You are way off track here.

there is no such distinction between restful architecture and backend design as you say. RESTful goes from service to client, that’s a core tenant of its very definition. Try to think about your problem restfully and you’ll soon see why your questions are so confusing now. Your trying to model your problem domain with a broken language.

Ok, we have different opinions and I appreciate it. So what's the right API for my problem domain according to you and can you justify it?

That’s a fair question, lemme think about it today
