Obtaining recent payments in machine readable form

My program needs to read all transactions that have occurred in my merchant account in the last couple of hours.  The transactions appear in the Activity, All Transactions screen, but when I download the activity as a CSV file, only transactions that occurred more than a couple of hours ago are included.  In fact, on the Activity Download screen, there is a warning that says, "Data is updated as of [some date/time a few hours ago]" and transactions before that time are all I get.  I tried using the Transaction Search API described at https://developer.paypal.com/docs/api/transaction-search/v1/, but it seems to suffer from the same limitation - transactions that occurred in the last few hours are omitted. 

 

Is there a way to get all recent transactions in some programmatically accessible form (CSV, JSON, etc.) that doesn't require screen scraping?

 

Thanks,

Rex
