That's not a REST-inspired API. (It might be an API inspired by the kind of naïve mapping of HTTP verbs onto the base tables of a normalized RDBMS schema suggested to people who don't understand DB design, REST, or application design by certain popular web frameworks default "REST" approach, but that's not REST's fault.)
