I wonder if someone from the Apigee team wrote these, as Google recently acquired Apigee[1], and the guidelines are mostly inline with what Apigee recommends.[2]

This guide has been in use since 2014, including recently launched Cloud Spanner API.

And one more thing: Apigee's (awesome) e-book is designed to help customers write APIs.

The Google Style guide is a guide we use (and have been using for years) when designing our own APIs.
