Re:How to (and how not to) design REST APIs by jacknews on Wednesday November 22, 2023 @09:27PM (#38388470)
Why have plural at all. All rest urls except index, which is easily discernible because it has no id, make more sense in the singular:

  get /ticket/12
  patch /ticket/12
  put /ticket
The problem is not humans getting confused by 'gooses', but that sometimes your code has to do the mapping, and there are plenty of edge-cases. Just avoid the issue entirely by sticking with singular throughout.
