This sound pretty much like a RESTful JSON API :)

IMO the only sensible approach for doing such things. The alternatives 
like SOAP (POST requests and XML bloated responses) are a PITA.

RESTful means HTTP GET is used. JSON is the data-format (which
is well supported in Haskell, Python, C++, C, JavaScript, etc.)
