JSON API is part of the PyPI legacy: http://wiki.python.org/moin/PyPiJson

I use it to build http://zope3.pov.lt/py3/ with
https://github.com/mgedmin/ztk-py3-status/blob/master/get_pypi_status.py

(I tried pointing that script to preview-pypi.python.org, but all the
package/json pages returned "{}", which, I guess, simply means the JSON
API is not implemented yet.)

I don't know whether "REST API" is the same thing, or if we're talking
about two different things here.
