API for MySQL?

[Snyder, Alexander]

Yes, in the newest alpha/beta 5.7.x.x

A prototype of MySQL 5.7 is shipping with an optional component called the
MySQL HTTP Plugin. This plugin allows direct access to MySQL via a REST
over HTTP interface, eliminating the need for a middle-tier server or
database specific drivers.
