Hi, we have a classic NVP API that make this, it is the GetBalance API. You can check our guide and eventually find a way to integrate in your code.
Hi Andre, unfortunately your response is absolutely no help at all to me. You've sent me to a page that is describing the fields in the
GetBalance()
method, not the API that provides the
GetBalance()
method.
There is no page that actually shows the implementation of the
GetBalance()
method. Where can I find that? In addition you put a link that says our guide that links me to the exact same page as the first link you provided.
Please provide correct links. Is the
GetBalance()
method deprecated? Do I need to be a PayPal partner to use this feature?
See this
Does that make sense @MTS_Andre ?
UPDATE: PayPal tech support / moderators are completely useless as usual
I finally think I may have found an answer to my original question. Firstly, you can not get the PayPal Account Balance using the Payouts API. You have to call their
GetBalance()
method that is located in the PayPal Merchant SDK. Install this NuGet package into your solution if you want to attempt to get an Account balance.
Here is the .NET implementation
Here is the new web.config stuff you have to add (<accounts> tag)
I could succesfully retrieve the Account Balance using the sample configuration provided in the 3 token authourization section of the github solution. Unfortunately, I haven't been able to generate the credentials that I need for the NVP API call embedded into PayPal Merchant SDK . The process is convoluted, and I am unsure if this feature is being deprecated in the future or is already deprecated as of now. If anyone finds out anything about this, please let me know.
UPDATE 2: After more searching, I finally figured out how to enable the NVP SOAP API on my account, got those enabled and tested, and it worked.
