Custom HTTP Header, does it violate the RESTful Architecture
I'm currently working on designing a RESTful API, my question is, does it violate the RESTful Architecture if adding custom HTTP Header as part of the requirements?
X-API-Token: MyToken
Appreciate the help, thank you!

As long as you do not store client context as part your custom header, you're good to go.
