💡 Hint

Common Mistakes

Putting verbs like 'updateUser' in the URL instead of resource names.

The URL uses 'users' as the resource and '123' as the resource ID. The PUT method indicates updating the resource, so no verbs are needed in the URL.

Common Mistakes

Including verbs like 'getOrders' in the URL.

The URL accesses the 'orders' sub-resource of the user with ID '123'. All parts are nouns representing resources. The HTTP GET method specifies the action.
