Name-Value Pairs(NVP) is a PayPal Classic API syntax that uses a query-string to pass data

Name-Value Pairs(NVP) is part of the PayPal Classic API system. It was introduced as a simpler alternative to using to make API calls. NVP works exactly like a query string (raw POST operations also function like query strings). A sample NVP (minus the necessary authentication data) looks like this

METHOD=GetTransactionDetails&VERSION=109.0&TRANSACTIONID=ABC123
