Sandbox PayPal Express down

Sandbox for PayPal Express is not working for client and server side. The pop up window automatically closes. Production works fine.

Try it here: https://developer.paypal.com/demo/checkout/#/pattern/client

 

Console says: Failed to load resource: the server responded with a status of 400 (Bad Request)

 

Is there something happening today that has sandbox actions down?

Hello,

Apologies, this was an temporary issue which we've since been able to resolve. It should work as normal again now.

Same here! Since yesterday (2018.04.25) sandbox doesn't work. And on the interactive demo site only the Braintree demo works the client and serverside REST demo also fails with bad request. Please fix this because I want to test my intengration and not with a production account. If you changed something on the API please update the documentation and/or the live demo.

Having excactly the same problem. When clicking the Express Checkout button, the window opens for a sec and then closes again. Console shows error 400 for oauth:

POST https://www.sandbox.paypal.com/v1/oauth2/token 400 (Bad Request)

 

Problem is both on my dev project and on the Paypal Dev demo site: https://developer.paypal.com/demo/checkout/#/pattern/client

 

When I switch to production mode, everything works fine. But I need the sandbox for testing as we are still in the dev phase.

I just tried it a few moments ago and it works again thankfully.

The biggest headache about this was the popup window just disappearing without reason and forcing me to initially believe the error was mine. As a suggestion, display errors within that window for sandbox testing instead of automatically closing it. This would be quite helpful during development.
