Verified steps

  1. Annotate an Apex class with @RestResource(urlMapping='/myresource/*') and mark methods with @HttpGet or @HttpPost
  2. Use RestContext.request and RestContext.response to access the raw request body, path parameters, and set status codes
  3. Define inner Apex classes for request and response payloads and use JSON.deserialize / JSON.serialize for marshalling
  4. Deploy the class and verify the endpoint is accessible at /services/apexrest/<namespace>/myresource/
  5. Call the endpoint externally using a connected app OAuth token in the Authorization header
  6. Write Apex test methods that set RestContext.request manually to achieve code-coverage without making real HTTP calls
