Is an email address an URI?
Per RFC 3986: A Uniform Resource Identifier (URI) is a compact sequence of characters that identifies an abstract or physical resource. So – an e-mail address is not a URI.
Is email address URL safe?
As indicated by the answers of @LucFranken and @9000, using a plain email address in your URL is a bad idea, but you can use an ‘encrypted’ form of an email address as ID. This ‘encryption’ can be as simple as base64 encoding.

What are the rules for REST API Uri design?
Before going over the rules for REST API URI design, let’s do a quick overview on some of the terms we are going to talk about. REST APIs use Uniform Resource Identifiers (URIs) to address resources. On today’s web, URI designs range from masterpieces that clearly communicate the API’s resource model like:
Do you look at the contents of the Uri string?
When you are not dereferencing, you should not look at the contents of the URI string to gain other information. Clients must follow the linking paradigm of the Web and treat URIs as opaque identifiers. REST API designers should create URIs that convey a REST API’s resource model to its potential client developers.
What does a truly RESTful API look like?
A truly RESTful API looks like hypertext. Every addressable unit of information carries an address, either explicitly (e.g., link and id attributes) or implicitly (e.g., derived from the media type definition and representation structure). Any important resource in a RESTful system must have an identifier […]
What’s the rule of keep it simple URI?
