Hey! few quick thoughts on this. No API is static, so over time expect to add or deprecate query parameters even if can't conceive of needing changes today, tomorrow, or next quarter. Change leads API providers to relax validation rules on inputs as part of avoiding regressions. It's very hard to get all the users of a public API to update their usages, so hard rules like not allowing extra parameters are likely to break folks over time. If it's an internal API with a dozen or fewer consumers you control, then go ahead, add some rules :) I'm working on a new feature for the Optic project [1] that can tell you if a proposed API change will break any of your consumers -- sort of like an automated consumer-driven-contract-test.
