Recurring payments using Paypal Merchant SDK or Paypal REST API

Question

Everything does not look good with the Paypal APIs. Paypal Merchant API seems to be deprecated , but most of the examples and functionality is referring to Marchant SDK.For example take Recurring. REST API does not provide any example of Recurring Payments !

In what context this API is deprecated ? I am looking for recurring payments done for "Paypal Payments Advanced" account type.

If you are looking to implement Recurring Billing with PayPal Payments Advanced you'll want to look at the Payflow platform APIs. here is a good place to get started:
