What is the best way to do routing for a POST request?

Question

API

I have a user, the user has a list of devices (techniques). Let's say I want a person to click "Add a new device" from a mobile device (iPhone, Android), what is the best way to implement routing and implementation? I have two options:
1) Send a request to the /device/ address in the POST parameters of which will be name and user_id (to whom the device is bound).
2) Send a request to the address: /users/{id}/device/ and send only the name of the device in the POST request.
But I do not know about the second option, whether it is possible to send {id} to the POST, or not.
I would be glad for advice, because I entered the development of api only yesterday)

Answer 1

Both schemes are acceptable, the choice depends on how you use your API. I suspect that your application is supposed to navigate through the entire list of devices, regardless of the user associated with it. It turns out that the first option is more suitable, it will allow you to have a separate REST resource for displaying and manipulating devices outside of the user.
