+Abstract
+========
+
+This document captures the conventions to be used for all Open edX web APIs.
+
+Update: moved to https://openedx.atlassian.net/wiki/display/OpenDev/edX+REST+API+Conventions.
+
+Motivation
+==========
+
+The Open edX platform contains many extension points for third-party developers
+that wish to integrate with the platform. We wish to approach a standard
+methodology for API design in order to give developers more consistency in their
+API client design, and to make our endpoint behaviors more predictable.
