It depends on whether API is intended to be used with JavaScript clients.
JavaScript convention is camelBack so for APIs  designed with primary
intent of having JavaScript clients it is common to have JSON keys using
the same.
In other cases however snake_case is preferable as it is somewhat easier to
read.

Hopefully. Inconsistent APIs are painful.

Generally yes.
