This is a research project that will look in the field of the Application Programming Interfaces (API) and be able to apply the techniques used, to the main functionality of the development of car hire management systems in Zimbabwe and abroad. The author is going to research mainly about REST APIs, the integration of payment methods so that at the end a theoretical application can be used to come up with a prototype of the API that can be used in above mentioned field. Integrated in the API are various payment methods such as (Ecocash, Telecash) and ZIMRA tax module. Mainly about REST APIs and integration of payment methods with a view of coming up with comprehensive and easy to use APIs [3].
