Reference Transactions API has been working for my sandbox account. Recently, it stopped working and I'm getting 403.
Can you enable Reference Transactions API for my merchant account?

Good day @aliosmanisik
Thank you for posting to the PayPal community.
The reference transaction is enabled for your sandbox account.
To resolve the 403 error you are currently facing, I would suggest to please contact your website developer or the third party eCommerce support to cross check your using same SANDBOX REST API Credentials(Client ID & Secret) while performing the below API calls.

Also, If a third-party eCommerce partner is performing API operation on your behalf, you(i.e merchant) should be on-boarded and necessary API permissions should be granted to the Partner(API Caller).

Merchants can manually grant permission to a third-party eCommerce to access specific information in your PayPal account and perform PayPal API operations on your behalf.
Login PayPal.com >> Settings >> Account Settings >> Website payments >> API Access >> Pre-built payment solution >> Grant API permission >> contact your "Third party software eCommerce" for Third Party Permission Username >> enter the username.
