"authentication failure" using REST Api

[BerntR]

I have made some code to download stuff, using REST API. The end purpose is to download transactions for accounting purposes.

But I am getting "authentication failure" no matter what.

I am using the simplest example I could find in the documents: The text I send looks like this url format:

curl -v -X GET https://api-m.paypal.com/v1/invoicing/invoices?page=3&page_size=4&total_count_required=true -H "Content-Type: application/json" -H "Authorization: Bearer A21AAMcX07joL_YI0rNrWbi4dURLceJ8xKhe0KgopuXl60owP5XzvfjPKN8pAAu9i6WC195dlAG5xM8J72irOkgOfHGJnj4iw".

And the access token is OK, it comes back with green light. I am beginning to wonder if there is a severe limit to my account since I'm doing this from overseas. It is a business account, btw.
