In 2008 Roy T. Fielding expressed his frustration with people calling their HTTP-based interfaces for REST API's when in fact they aren't.

But that's not the worst part of all of this, the worst part is that no HTTP driven API should try to be REST in the first place! https://unixdigest.com/articles/no-your-api-isnt-rest-but-dont-worry-it-really-shouldnt-be.html
