<p>Hey Koha developers!</p>
<p>I would like to ask your opinion on endpoint structure for many
patron-related api endpoints. We have two options for the path
structure, let's say for accountlines:</p>
<p><font size="-1"><b>/patron/{patron_id)/account</b> (currently in
use)</font><br>
</p>
<p>OR</p>
<p><font size="-1"><b>/account</b> (not implement, (perhaps some
other name would be better))</font></p>
<p>I understand why the first one makes sense and it is pretty
straight-forward to use when you are dealing with a specific
patron.</p>
<p>But, the problem with this choice is that we lose the ability to
query other sets of accountlines data. For example, how would you
get a list of accountlines from today? There may not currently be
need for such exact query, but it should be possible if we want a
more complete API.<br>
</p>
<p>My question is, when creating new endpoints that are closely tied
to another object, such as accountlines to patron, do we also want
to support the full accountlines object via its own endpoint? It
would make sense for listing different sets of accountlines data.<br>
