Make endpoints in API responses full URLs

[techgique]

The endpoint(s) keys have values which are relative URLs from the app root. This means to browse between them in the browser, one has to type them in. Full URLs are clickable and make browsing much easier.

https://cdrhapi.unl.edu/v2/

endpoints:
0 | "/"
1 | "/items"
2 | "/item/{id}"
3 | "/collections"
4 | "/collection/{collection}/info"
5 | "/collection/{collection}/item/{id}"

The template URLs obviously can't be made into full URLs, but making the others clickable would make browsing to them much easier. The template URLs would be full URLs at the parent endpoints such as https://cdrhapi.unl.edu/v2/collections

endpoint | "/v2/collection/habeascorpus"

The Chronicling America API and recent reintroduction as the Open ONI Chronam API highlighted how much more convenient browsing an API in the browser can be with full URLs:

• https://chroniclingamerica.loc.gov/batches.json
• ChronAm JSON API + Django Rest Framework w Throttling open-oni/open-oni#610
  • Example code for URLs
