API call to retrieve transaction - errors getting ...

Hello, We have a webhook receiving paypal transaction information. Our webhook immediately decodes the payload, and calls the PayPal API to retrieve the transaction associated with the webhook message.   We are now seeing in about 20% of the calls, in production, the error message "Specified resource ID does not exist"   Can someone please suggest a solution? Thanks Nick     We are using the PayPal SDK to create a PayPalHTTPClient   private function _getPayPalClient() { $clientId = $this->getClientId(); $clientSecret = $this->getSecretKey(); if($this->isLive() == true) { error_log('creating production environment: '.$clientId.', '.$clientSecret); $environment = new ProductionEnvironment($clientId, $clientSecret); } else { error_log('creating sandbox environment: '.$clientId.', '.$clientSecret); $environment = new SandboxEnvironment($clientId, $clientSecret); } return new PayPalHttpClient($environment); }   public function getTransaction($transactionId) { $client = $this->_getPayPalClient(); try { Log::Info(__FILE__,__METHOD__,', fetching paypal transaction id: '.$transactionId); $response = $client->execute(new OrdersGetRequest($transactionId)); Log::Info(__FILE__,__METHOD__,', paypal transaction response: '.print_r($response,true)); return $response; } catch (Exception $ex) { Log::Info(__FILE__,__METHOD__,', paypal transaction fetch error: Exception: '.$ex->getMessage()); return false; } ...

Hi,   We have code to create a PayPal Order object in the Sandbox. The code has worked fine, but for no apparent reason we have now started to see errors of this nature, with the JSON block returned:   {"name":"INTERNAL_SERVER_ERROR","details":[{"location":"body","issue":"INTERNAL_SERVICE_ERROR","description":"An internal service error has occurred."}],"message":"An internal server error has occurred.","debug_id":"5923b3a886391","links":[{"href":"https://developer.paypal.com/docs/api/orders/v2/#error-INTERNAL_SERVICE_ERROR","rel":"information_link","method":"GET"}]}   Is there any explanation?   Thanks <removed>         ...

  Hello, I would like to retrieve full details of a subscription plan.   Retrieving the plan with the URL: https://api.sandbox.paypal.com/v1/billing/plans/P-2PE8120841575405WL76FLQQ as per Subscriptions (paypal.com)    However, the array retrieved only contains the summary details. Is there an additional parameter that needs to be sent to get the verbose information?   Thanks Nick   Plan details Array ( [id] => P-2PE8120841575405WL76FLQQ [name] => Basic Plan [status] => ACTIVE [description] => Basic plan [usage_type] => LICENSED [create_time] => 2021-01-11T13:42:26Z [links] => Array ( [0] => Array ( [href] => https://api.sandbox.paypal.com/v1/billing/plans/P-2PE8120841575405WL76FLQQ [rel] => self [method] => GET [encType] => application/json ) ) ) ...

I'm setting up a recurring payment profile.   It works fine using the sandbox, but moving to live, we have the following situation:  the purchaser sees that the profile has the 'created' status  the retail side has a message that the recurring payment profile has been successfully setup, but it listed as 'pending' The profile just sits in that that status.   Does something need to be activated?   Thanks   ...
