No API access link in Account

Hi, I am trying to set up a mobile PayPal app. It instructs me to go to my Account Information and click on "API Access,"  however, "API Access" is not in my list of options in that column (or in any column). My list looks like this: 

 

  • Email
  • Street Address
  • Phones and Mobile Payments
  • Password
  • Notifications
  • Language Preference
  • Time Zone
  • PayPal Security Key
  • Close Account
  • Identification Preference
So, what am I to do?  Thanks very much for your help.

You could upgrade your account to 'premier' or 'business' account to get the API access.

How to retrieve your API Signature information from your PayPal account.   Assuming you have a Premier or Business Account.

Click the "My Account" tab.
Click "Profile" at the top of the page.
Click the "API Access" link in the Account Information column.
Click the "Request API Credentials" link.
Select "Request API signature."
Click "Agree," and then click "Submit."
Click "Done".
Write down your API username and API password information. Copy the signature and save it to a file or some other location. This is your API signature.
