Wait, I just realized that this means I'm not going to have to keep and securely store 7 years of signed CC receipts for my business! Can't happen fast enough.

If you are looking for 'microcontrollers <-> webservices with full restful api' then Cosm looks pretty good. Arduino, Nanode, mbed, devices running OpenWRT... They just changed names from Pachube. https://cosm.com/
