In the API article slugs are always passed as a GET parameter, unlike in the case of browser visible URLs. This is because we don't care about having:
  • nice human readable URLs
  • ISR, at least for now
so the id= parameter is always used.
For now there is no API that returns single items: getting a single item is done simply using a filter that uniquely selects a single element, e.g.:
/api/articles?id=johnsmith/mathematics
Maybe this will change if someday we ever de to have full vs minimized versions of API objects. But then at that point we might as well go to GraphQL.
