Cool, how do you organize these functions @karelpeeters? Are they functions kept in data classes, extensions or they are separated Translators or something?

Disclaimer: I haven't worked on a big project that had rest api stuff as the main feature, but this worked for me.

The API started with an Account class that had a function to send requests with the appropriate sessions id etc, it had a parameter for extra parameters on the request.

Then on Account there were functions that returned some data about it, eg Account.contacts(): List<Contact>. Those Contact objects looked somewhat like this:

data class Contact(val account: Account, val name: String) {
    fun details(): ContactDetails {
        return parse<ContactDetails>(account.sendRequest("contact/$name"))
    }
}

And then ContactDetails kept a reference to the Contact object as well, something like:

data class ContactDetails(val contact: Contact, val name: String, val age: Int)
