That may be so, however he asked what else is wrong with this API. An ugly URL scheme is something wrong with an API in my opinion and lots of people agree (see Rails, etc).

I thank you all for your great responses you have given so far. I meant my question in the restfulness way, but poutine adds best practice advises that I'm more than happy to also know about.
