AI Visibility Scorecard
rest-vs-http.info · Technology
Borderline visible. AI bots can crawl REST vs HTTP, but the structured-data signals are thin - you are at real risk of being skipped when buyers ask ChatGPT, Claude, or Perplexity for a recommendation.

from our crawl and measurement
"Many APIs are called REST APIs in daily business. But do most of them really follow the constraints needed to make them truly RESTful." That is how REST vs HTTP introduces itself. To AI engines like ChatGPT and Perplexity, though, it is barely visible: it scores 3.5 out of 10.
The site gets some of it right: it has a clear heading structure, sitemaps and entity links AI can follow. What holds it back is what is absent, including credibility markers like credentials or reviews, structured data describing the business, a clearly stated business identity.
Off the page there is almost nothing to corroborate it: almost no other sites link to it, the domain does not yet read as established, AI engines do not yet recognise it as a distinct business. That half of the score is earned elsewhere on the web, not on the site itself.

Your AEO score measures whether AI search engines (ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity, Gemini) can read your site and name it in answers. At 3.5/10, REST vs HTTP is crawlable but under-signaled - fixable, and the signals above are where to start.
Checklist: Is my API RESTful?
If you recognize these things in your application, there's a high chance, that REST constraints are violated. Your clients are performing string concatenation to build resource URLs. => REST clients should have no knowledge of resource URLs other than the initial one. This demostrates a high coupling between client and server.

When a buyer asks ChatGPT which company to use, two different things can happen. ChatGPT can name a company in its answer. Or it can link to a web page as a source. Most advice about AI visibility is about the second one. Our data says the first one is what matters.
