which API to use to check payment on a personal account

I would like to be able to check programmatically if anybody sent money on my personal account using paypal.me. What API/SDK should I use ?  With the API/SDK, what are the main steps (API calls) for

 

- connecting to a personal account,

- finding out if a new payment occurred or what was the last payment,

- how much was paid

- who paid it (email address)  

 

For information, I am planning to implement that on a Arduino and would like to control a relay giving access to a device when somebody has paid me on a personal account.  The idea is like that:

1) somebody use paypal.me link written on the device to send a small amount on my account and push a button on the device

2) the device checks if a new payment has occurred and sends a password to payer email address to unlock the device.

 

The reason to use paypal.me is that I don't want to maintain public website/webpage just for payment.

 

Thank you.
