Question

Is there a good example of a root directory of a REST /JSON api

Answer 1

This question as asked is unclear. I would guess it means something like a directory that all API methods are under. For example, the root directory of the Flickr API would be http://api.flickr.com/services/rest/.

For an example of a project that accesses the Flickr API, see python-flickrapi

Answer 2

• NerdDinner.com¹
• The Sun Cloud API
• Twitter
• Paul Jame's article
• MediaWiki's API²

1. NerdDinner uses WCF Data Services, which is a great way to correctly implement RESTful services. The reason I am point to that, and not WCF data services directly is because it is a public website and you can use it. 2. MediaWiki is not a great example because they are passing actions in the URI but it is technically a RESTful service and show's a lot of interesting ideas.
