Still can’t find the API details?

If the above instructions did not work for you, try this:

1. Login to your PayPal account
2. Click on Profile
3. See the classic Profile version (on the left side, outside the My Selling tools box)
4. API Access (under Account Information)
5. Choose Option 2 – Request API credentials – click on View API signature.

Using API Certificate and not signature?

If you are using API certificates, you may need to remove your existing certificate and then “Request API Signature” using steps outlined above.

Note that if you are using the certificate in another system, that system may need to be updated / given the API Signature info to continue working.

You should then be able to see the three pieces of info – API signature, username and password.

Still no luck?
