The PayPal REST APIs are supported in two environments. Use the Sandbox environment for testing purposes, then move to the live environment for production processing.
The following endpoints address are two environments:
Sandbox (for testing) : https://api.sandbox.paypal.com
Live (production) : https://api.paypal.comA complete REST operation is formed by combining an HTTP method with the full URI to the resource you’re addressing. For example, here is the operation to create a new payment:
POST https://api.paypal.com/v1/payments/paymentThe PayPal REST sdk can be obtained through pip
pip install paypalrestsdkOAuth Request / Response
import paypalrestsdk
api = paypalrestsdk.set_config(
mode="sandbox", # sandbox or live
client_id="CLIENT_ID",
client_secret="CLIENT_SECRET")
api.get_access_token()Client Id and Secret Id can be obtained from the application created in the paypal account.
For the following each API call, you’ll need to set request headers, including the access token.
