I'd pass the user_id in the request body instead of putting it in the endpoint. IMO it's better to keep your endpoints as simple as possible.

Naming Api endpoints when two "Entities" are envolved.
Hi,
I pick "tips" channel but I'm don't know if it is the correct. Anyway:
I have users and offers, and users can apply to job offers.
How would you name the api?
POST api/users/{user_id}/offers/{offer_id}/apply
POST api/offers/{offer_id}/apply/{user_id}
...
POST api/offers/{offer_id}/apply // pass the user_id in request body { user_id: 1 }
I'm using the first one but it seems a little awkard to me.
Thx!

yep
POST api/offers/{offer_id}/apply // pass the user_id in request body { user_id: 1 }
is the right way to go..
