body: <p>Is resource a mandatory condition in rest API ?
  for example in a login API &quot;api/v1/login&quot;, what will be the resource here. Even though I am using &quot;POST&quot; HTTP method and it's a complete stand alone API, will it be called REST API?</p>
  <p>or we have to present it in some other way to make it RESTful.</p>
