Online payment service provider, PayPal, plans to open API (Application Programming Interface) for developers. "API" may be used to refer to a complete interface, a single function, or even a set of multiple APIs provided by an organization. Thus, the scope of meaning is usually determined by the person or document that communicates the information. Such a move is an attempt to integrate PayPal more extensive services to various applications and devices.

Scott Thompson, President of PayPal in the Web 2.0 conference in San Francisco, USA, said that PayPal will be the provider of the first online payment service that opened its platform to everyone and API will be released on November 3, 2009.

Nevertheless, he could not specify when the PayPal service became available in a variety of mobile devices, television, and social networks. Cannot wait, let's participate using PayPal API and we always hope with using API, PayPal still being the safest way to make an online payment.
