AIP is a great start but I hope people extend the ideas here a little more. A lot of this is centered around conventions that make sense to humans and to automated API generators (see Long Running Operations for an example of this).

I hope at some point someone builds more gRPC-specific API recommendations that includes streaming and ways to do a better bulk data transfers. (ex: stream-with-filters)

However, applying most of these proposals has improved APIs I've worked with and written.

I'm currently working on migrating a system from the Google Adwords API(being depricated in some months) and porting everything to their new Google ads API(a massive step up) and to be honest everything described here is incredibly familiar. Overall that's exactly how it works.

defo feel like more work is needed, perhaps some new ideas. async apis are needed too IMHO, some framework that permits consistent apis that can be http or stomp or websockets if those protocols are a better fit.

I would appreciate an api framework that can handle email as a transport.
