# API Design Patterns And Use Cases
This document lists various useful patterns for API design. We encourage API developers to consider the following patterns as a guide while designing APIs for services.
### Document Semantics, Formatting, and Naming
The key words "MUST", "MUST NOT", "REQUIRED", "SHALL", "SHALL NOT", "SHOULD", "SHOULD NOT", "RECOMMENDED", "MAY", and "OPTIONAL" in this document are to be interpreted as described in [RFC 2119](https://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc2119.txt).
# API Design Guidelines
# Introduction
The PayPal platform is a collection of reusable services that encapsulate well-defined business capabilities. Developers are encouraged to access these capabilities through Application Programming Interfaces (APIs) that enable consistent design patterns and principles. This facilitates a great developer experience and the ability to quickly compose complex business processes by combining multiple, complementary capabilities as building blocks.
PayPal APIs follow the [RESTful][0] architectural style as much as possible. To support our objectives, we have developed a set of rules, standards, and conventions that apply to the design of RESTful APIs. These have been used to help design and maintain hundreds of APIs and have evolved over several years to meet the needs of a wide variety of use cases.
We are sharing these guidelines to help propagate good API design practices in general. We have pulled extensively from the broader community and believe that it is importan
