The REST API has nothing to do with SPV clients; it's similar to the RPC
interface and won't be exposed to the network as a whole.
Increasing the resource usage by SPV clients on full nodes is undesirable; =
we
have a lot of work to do regarding DoS attacks. John Dillon's comments here=
on
using micro-transactions to compensate full-nodes for maintaining expensive
blockchain indexes are worth reading:
https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/2802#issuecomment-20232958
In any case UTXO data currently requires you to have full trust in
whomever is providing you with it, and that situation will continue
until UTXO commitments are implemented - if they are implemented.
