Do I need to create a separate URL to register a "Company" along with its "Owner"?

Question

Django

The problem is this - there are two models User and Company. The URLs .../api/users and .../api/companies/ are attached to them, respectively. One company has many users and one of them, logically, is its owner (the user has a ForeignKey company indicating the company to which he belongs, as well as a role attribute that tells what position he holds there). The requirements are such that the user cannot belong to any company. This was solved using the .../companies//users/ edgepoint, from which you can create users who will immediately belong to a particular company. But the company also cannot be without an owner, and it is no longer possible to create ownerless users. Therefore, it is required to create a company and the owner of this company at the same time, that is, when registering a company. And here the question arises - is it possible to create a user together with the company in the POST .../api/companies/ request and simply ask to send user data through options, or even create a separate URL for registering these two. The first option, in my opinion, completely breaks the idea of ​​a RESTful API, although I may be wrong since I'm new to REST, but the idea that the endpoint responsible for creating companies now also takes responsibility for creating users jars me .

Answer 1

If the User is connected to the Company via a foreign key, then if the Company does not exist, then there is no user, so when we send a post to .../api/companies/ we need to create a user, which means the first option is not bad. True, this is all reasonable only if the user does not have the opportunity to change the company
