Pyramid uses view callables as the main building blocks for a RESTful API. Whenever a request arrives, Pyramid finds and invokes the appropriate view callable to process the request and return an appropriate response.

View callables are callable Python objects such as functions, classes, or instances that implement a __call__ method. Any view callable receives an argument named request that will provide the pyramid.request.Request instance that represents an HTTP request.
