web services - What is the best URI template for retrieving grouped counts of a particular resource in a REST API? -

-

i have rest api exposes uri return collection of employees in json. uri of following format:

http://webservice/employees

i want expose uri returns number of employees grouped by, say, office work in , further information office. example:

items: [{            officeid: 1,            officename: "big office",            switchboardtel: "123456789",            numemployees: 100         },         {            officeid: 2,            officename: "small office",            switchboardtel: "987654321",            numemployees: 30         },         ... // etc.        ]

what suitable uri this? thinking given returns information offices (along number of employees), perhaps information should retrieved via "offices" resource:

http://webservice/offices

alternatively, following uri more suitable?

http://webservice/employees?groupby=office

in opinion, seems wrong response returns information offices, rather employees, along employee count.

say wanted expose uri returned number of employees grouped age... belong "employees" resource, such as:

http://webservice/employees?groupby=age

...or better suited creating "ages" resource:

http://webservice/ages

in opinion, "groupby=age" option seems best here...but kind of makes uri formats inconsistent.

basically, want consistent uri format count of employees grouped criteria - , response contain information grouping.

thanks in advance help.
