Paper abstract bibtex REST APIs are nowadays the de-facto standard for Web applications. However, as more systems and services adopt the REST architectural style, many problems arise regularly. To avoid these repetitive problems, developers should follow good practices and avoid bad practices. Thus, research on good and bad practices and how to design a simple but effective REST API are essential. Yet, to the best of our knowledge, there are only a few concrete solutions to recurring REST API practices, like ``API Versioning''. There are works on defining or detecting some practices, but not on solutions to the practices. We present the most up-to-date list of REST API practices and formalize them in the form of REST API (anti)patterns. We validate our design (anti)patterns with a survey and interviews of 55 developers.
