What are the best RESTful methods when defining a query parameter with a condition or?

Question

I would like to know, following the RESTful best practices, how I should define the URL as follows:

/people?q="email=[e-mail]||phone=11111"

The bottom line is to search for a person by their email address or phone, depending on what they have inserted in the search field.

I read a few guides on best practices for using RESTful services, but no one talks about this situation.

Answer 1

REST means you follow the standards by creating a (unified) application interface.

GET. URL, . . RQL, OData, REST API URI: mongodb .. . , . , . SPARQL, REST RDF vocabs hydra. , MIME . ( , , .)

Answer 2

:

/people?condition=OR&email=[e-mail]&phone=11111

/URL- .

Answer 3

An alternative could be:

/people?or_email=[e-mail]&or_phone=11111

Thus, you can also search by mail and phone.

/people?and_email=[e-mail]&and_phone=11111

or even perform more complex queries, for example:

/people?and_email=[e-mail]&and_phone=11111&or_name=Alice
