For your two User points, both revolve around "Users" having access to these APIs, however the article argued that these should be deeper APIs. Not for human consumption, right? I feel like that was part of the (vague) point - Params give a URL human-usability. To go beyond that and to get more power out of a URL, they (vaguely) propose JSON as a non-human friendly format.

So for these deeper APIs, how many humans are accessing these?

And, most importantly, i don't believe the article was arguing against POST (in fact, it doesn't mention POST.. once). I believe the argument was for times when you are already using URLs to convey data, such as in a search query, that JSON might be a useful alternative to plain HTTP Params.

No?
