Would I include this whole thing (isn’t that a Url not a Uri if I include the entire string here) for a Uri?

http://someThirdPartyApi.com/api/v1/cases.json

or would it just be this portion for the Uri when making OAuth requests?

/api/v1/cases.json

UPDATED – (context):

So for example with OAuth, as you know, part of the signature is the Base Uri. I don’t understand if that means this entire address or just /api/v1/cases.json which I guess would be the resource part of the Url? I don’t get it. What should I be passing as part of the signature creation for the Uri part?

    In your example http://someThirdPartyApi.com/api/v1/cases.json is an absolute URL, while /api/v1/cases.json is a relative URL.

    You can use relative URL when you’re in a document located at some URL and you want to reference some other “close” URL (for example on the same domain name). So, for example, in the document located at http://someThirdPartyApi.com/index.aspx, both of your URLs should be treated the same.

    If you’re not in a document located at the same domain, you should use the absolute URL.
