Are there any naming convention guidelines for REST APIs? [closed]

by

When creating REST APIs, are there any guidelines or defacto standards for naming conventions within the API (eg: URL endpoint path components, querystring parameters)? Are camel caps the norm, or underscores? others?

For example:

api.service.com/helloWorld/userId/x

or

api.service.com/hello_world/user_id/x

Note: This is not a question of RESTful API design, rather the naming convention guidelines to use for the eventual path components and/or query string parameters used.

Any guidelines would be appreciated.
