When developers create APIs, they have a design question to consider: Use many variants of endpoints (as with Eventbrite's API), or provide lots of parameters to configure the same endpoint. Often there's a balance between the two. The trend seems to be toward providing separate endpoints rather than supplying a host of potentially confusing parameters within the same endpoint.
