Heroku
The Heroku Platform API is a JSON-only REST interface, versioned via an `Accept: application/vnd.heroku+json` header, for programmatically creating apps and managing dynos, add-ons, config vars, and releases with OAuth or bearer-token auth. Heroku removed its free dyno, Postgres, and Redis tiers in November 2022, so the entry point today is the paid Eco plan, with Basic, Standard, Performance, and newer Kubernetes-backed Fir dynos above it.
