Correct Rest API?

Question

RESTful API

The user has projects.
Every project has events.
I display a list of projects. To do this, I pull the projects method.
For each project, I need to display the time of the next event.
How to implement if I write api not only for the site?
Should I send in the projects method for each project or do I need another method?

Answer 1

from the point of view of the number of requests, it is better to save money and get the next event along with the project (based on the article about N + 1 ), but from the point of view of the purity of the response of data on a specific entity (projects), this may be superfluous. It is necessary to focus on those indicators that are more important now and in the short term.
