I would like to know if there is some best practices about the root endpoint for a REST web service? I mean, should it be a short documentation about the usage of the API itself? Should it be an XML document describing all methods available? Should it only return “unknown method”?
This question as asked is unclear. I would guess it means something like a directory that all API methods are under. For example, the root directory of the Flickr API would be http://api.flickr.com/services/rest/.
For an example of a project that accesses the Flickr API, see python-flickrapi
