What's the alternative Rest API for payments/payout?
I just want to send money to freelancers one by one, not need bulk payments.
The payout API seems for multiple receivers.
Additional, I realized that i need to request a permission for that.
I feel like that's too much, and something wrong. (maybe I misunderstood)
So, is there any proper REST API to send money to a single account?

Currently, merchants can use the latest REST API "Payouts" feature and send money.

Please refer the Eligibility :
- Venmo can be used for payouts in the US using USD only.
- Some countries have limited or restricted payout features. See the full list of Country and feature support.

Choose how you want to make payouts from the following options.
- API integration: Initiate payout requests using the Payouts API
- Large Batch: Create and upload payouts files to a secure FTP server
