Hello guys, I am having issues using the REST API to load recent transactions. Where I used the sandbox api everything has been working but now where I am trying to use it live I am getting error 403 due to no permissions. What can be the issue for that ?

Good day @Codeify,

 

Thank you for posting to the PayPal community.

 

I would suggest to please contact your website developer or the third party eCommerce support to cross check your using same LIVE REST API Credentials(Client ID & Secret) while performing the below API calls.

https://developer.paypal.com/api/rest/postman/ 

https://developer.paypal.com/docs/api/transaction-search/v1/

 

Also, If a third party eCommerce partner is performing API operation on your behalf, you(i.e merchant) should be on-boarded and necessary API permissions should be granted to the Partner(API Caller).

Merchants can manually grant permission to a third party eCommerce to access specific information in your PayPal account and perform PayPal API operations on your behalf.

 

Login PayPal.com >> Settings >> Account Settings >> Website payments >> API Access >> Pre-built payment solution >> Grant API permission >> contact your "Third party software eCommerce" for Third Party Permission Username >> enter the username.
