Thanks for pointing out my mistake! I corrected it. Unfortunately I'm not sure if I can follow why pagination information or follow-up links should not be part of response headers. We already have a lot of meta information in HTTP response headers that describes the content such as content type, language, or content range which is similar to pagination... can you explain why that kind of information doesn't belong there?
I see the next page links as other resource identifiers, as business logic and related to that specific request. I see them oposite to metadata like language and encoding, which are to describe the response and API as overall.
Also based on the logic that one client dont use it (infinite scroll) is not valid, you did not remove it just moved the information to another section of the HTTP response.
As for the data naming and common implementation mistakes I say that the API server and client implementations are details that should be automatically generated, I use Open API/swagger generators for that.
For further actions, you may consider blocking this person and/or reporting abuse
