PayPal支付沙箱正在授予AUTHORIZATION_ERROR

Question

I am using PayPal payouts sandbox API. In my sandbox app, payouts are enabled. But when I hit the API endpoint then it gives AUTHORIZATION_ERROR although my client_id & client_secret are correct. Following is the code sample:

function get_paypal_auth_token($client_id, $client_secret) {
    $curl = curl_init();

    curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_URL, "https://api.sandbox.paypal.com/v1/oauth2/token");
    curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_HEADER, false);
    curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_POST, true);
    curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, true); 
    curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_USERPWD, $client_id.":".$client_secret);
    curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, "grant_type=client_credentials");
    $result = curl_exec($curl);
    curl_close($curl);
    return json_decode($result);
}

function create_paypal_payment($data) {
    $client_id = "XXXXXX";
    $client_secret = "XXXXXXXSECRET";
    $auth_data = get_paypal_auth_token($client_id, $client_secret);
    $url = "https://api.sandbox.paypal.com/v1/payments/payouts";
    $data_json = json_encode($data);
    $curl = curl_init();
    curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER, array('Content-Type: application/json', 'Authorization: Bearer '.$auth_data->access_token));
    curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_POST, 1);
    curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_URL, $url);
    curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, $data_json);
    curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, true);
    $resp = curl_exec($curl);
    curl_close($curl);
    return json_decode($resp);
}

The expected result of this API should be kind of related to payouts.

Also, I try it with another account's credentials then it gives INSUFFICIENT_FUNDS error.

So can anyone please tell how to add balance to my PayPal account?

Follow these steps to add money in your sandbox account

1. Login to your Paypal sandbox using your sandbox account.
2. Click My Account –> Add Money
3. Click the type of account
4. Enter the amount

Answer 2

Do you get this error only sometimes? I think their sandbox is experiencing issues, as my system also gets this error about 50% of the time since a couple of days ago. You can try sending a direct request to their servers to confirm this.
