Authentication#
Paypal uses OAuth authentication. When you connect your Paypal account, Pipedream will open a popup window where you can sign into Paypal and grant Pipedream permission to connect to your account. Pipedream securely stores and automatically refreshes the OAuth tokens so you can easily authenticate any Paypal API.
Pipedream requests the following authorization scopes when you connect your account:
- accessToken
POST{{custom_fields.app_type}}.paypal.com/v1/oauth2/tokenAccept-Language:en_USContent-Type:application/x-www-form-urlencodedgrant_type=client_credentials - refreshToken
POST{{custom_fields.app_type}}.paypal.com/v1/oauth2/tokenAccept-Language:en_USContent-Type:application/x-www-form-urlencodedgrant_type=client_credentials
