With the Adaptive Payments API it is very simple to set the payee/receiver of a transaction. As the Adaptive Payments API is being deprecated, has the functionality to specify the payee been added to the REST API yet?

I need to charge fee at every transaction made via PayPal so when user pays via my application i need to charge additional $1 to my PayPal account.
I know Adaptive payments in Classic API can do what i need. Is there a support for this in new REST API?
The REST API is a replacement to the Adaptive Payment API. However, if I understand that you're asking for the more complex payments like chained, parallel or split, then I believe they are scheduled to be supported by the REST API by early next year (2015).
I have already set-up the chained adaptive payment using adaptive paypal API for our website, but we need to have a recurring billing attached to this adaptive payment. IS there a way we can integrate adaptive payment with recurring billing?
Please help...
The Adaptive Payments API doesn't have a recurring billing / subscription subscription in the traditional sense. Instead, it uses Preapproval Profiles / Preapproved Payments.
You need to use the Preapproval API to create a profile for your payer(s), which returns a Preapproval Key. Then you can include that Preapproval Key in Pay requests to trigger an instant payment without any further approval necessary...no redirect to PayPal would be required since the payment was already approved by the Preapproval Profile.
So with that preapproval key you can set your app up to process payments at whatever interval you need.
Not interested in pre-approved payments, there is no real way to guarantee payment to owner of a successful project, and besides, the application approval process for paypal adaptive payments is beyond timescales.
Do paypal allow use of the standard api (not adaptive payments) for crowdfunding?
I'm using Paypal's classic API.
What's the difference between Refund API(in the adaptive payment) and RefundTransaction API(in the merchant package)? When should I use the RefundTransaction API? And any time limit with the Refund API? I know the RefundTransaction API limits within 60 days.
PayPal Adaptive payments require a developer account to have submitted an application for Adaptive Payment APIs and receive approval to use the APIs through PayPal.
If you are not approved to use PayPal Adaptive Payments APIs you should be using the regular Refund Transaction APIs.
Adaptive Payments Information
Just in case you need it here is information on refunding payments:
Refunding Payments Basic APIs
All standard PayPal Accounts are setup with a 60 day refund limit by default.
I was able to successfully make simple transaction through Paypal new REST API, but I want to make adaptive payment through it. I googled and read the paypal api documents but could not find how to construct the request format to make adaptive payment. So need guidance for creating the adaptive payment request for REST API.
Adaptive Payment transactions are not yet supported for the REST API process. New features are planned for REST and are added often. There are plans for adding support for Adaptive Payments but there isn't a set date or anything like that.
