I would like to know if the PayPal REST API Support Desktop/Installed Apps?

When I go to create a new application the only two options for Integration type are 'Web' or 'Mobile SDK'.

REST simply uses HTTP methods to access APIs, so it shouldn't matter whether you have a desktop app. As long as your app can make REST API calls and parse the JSON response, you should be able to use the PayPal REST API.

You can use the Integration Type as Web and use any of the .NET SDKs available here to build Windows Desktop Apps.

Let us know if you are looking for Windows 8 version of the SDK (as this is currently under development).
