The main REST API methods and corresponding URIs for a task management system might be as follows:

  • GET /tasks — retrieve a list of all tasks.
  • GET /tasks/{id} — get details of a specific task by its identifier.
  • POST /tasks — create a new task.
  • PUT /tasks/{id} — fully update a task with the specified id.
  • PATCH /tasks/{id} — partially update a task.
  • DELETE /tasks/{id} — delete a task.

If the system has users and tasks are associated with them, you can add:

  • GET /users/{userId}/tasks — get tasks for a specific user.

Example of a request to create a task:

POST /tasks
Content-Type: application/json

{
  "title": "Prepare report",
  "description": "Prepare the sales report for the month",
  "dueDate": "2024-07-01"
}

This approach aligns with REST principles, where resources are represented as URIs, and HTTP methods define actions on them.
