Redirect

Latest comment: 12 years ago3 comments2 people in discussion

I think that this should not redirect to API, since Web APIs are an important topic on their own. Nor should it redirect to the possible synonym Web Services, since the current article defines Web Services as using WSDL and SOAP, and thusly defined Web API is not synonymous with Web Service, since not all Web APIs use these technologies. So in short I think that this should become an article. Boyprose (talk) 00:33, 17 September 2009 (UTC)Reply

It occurs to me that this article might better be called API (web). Any comments? Boyprose (talk) 01:40, 17 September 2009 (UTC)Reply

I disagree. Its naming is inline with many other articles such as web browser, web service, web cache, etc. 50.53.15.59 (talk) 15:21, 7 March 2013 (UTC)Reply

Web API, WebAPI or Web-API? I found all of them in use. [1] --Nemo 07:55, 12 February 2013 (UTC)Reply

I believe the current "web API" is sufficient and its naming is inline with other similar articles. If you want to add redirects named such, that could be useful. 50.53.15.59 (talk) 15:21, 7 March 2013 (UTC)Reply
