Add HTTP API#408

While GraphQL has gained popularity in recent years, it does have many drawbacks/tradeoffs [1] and some people have moved back to REST APIs [2,3] because of the increased complexity of GraphQL. For example it often requires a specialized library beyond the builtin HTTP library of the language.

Nowdays there are several projects [4,5] that can generate a REST API on top of a GraphQL API so you wouldn’t have to implement it yourself. I think adding a REST API would offer a benefit to developers who would like to build simple integrations on top of this great product. Thanks!
