So the solution to my problem was a bit of all of the following :
https://www.ibm.com/developerworks/rational/library/design-implement-restful-web-services/ : I concluded from this that, although it's difficult to model a restful api in a class diagram (since it's basically just a bunch of methods), consider the classes like "Resources", add the methods (basically the HTTP methods), and the paths to each resource.
This was also of huge help:
Another (simpler) way was to use tools like Pikturr, which transform your Swagger into a UML diagram.
Softwares for designing REST APIs :
- Visual Paradigm
- IBM Rational Software Architect
I hope this helps.
