Is there any real-life web service which is really 100% RESTful in terms of Fielding's thesis (Content negotiation, Hypermedia etc). I want to get a better grasp of REST and need something I could use from an automated client like Restfulie. Everything claimed to be RESTful I've come across so far seems to be either RPC or HTTP CRUD in fact.

For example, a REST API would use a GET request to retrieve a record, a POST request to create one, a PUT request to update a record, and a DELETE request to delete one. All HTTP methods can be used in API calls. A well-designed REST API is similar to a website running in a web browser with built-in HTTP functionality.
While true REST, by definition, mandates the use of hyperlinks to navigate clients through the interface, REST-like APIs fail to do so, usually meeting all of the style's remaining constraints.
A JSON REST API where real time statistic data is pushed to and stored in a Redis server. A JSON REST API call where any number of clients (native or web) can receive this data after it has been stored - i.e. in real time.
Huddle. It's not a free service but the docs explain how it works and it is one of the best publicly visible examples around.
