How to know when PayPal recurring payment fired?

Question

I'm using new PayPal REST API to manage users recurring payments. When i create recurring profile i provide return_url and cancel_url . But how do i know if scheduled payment succeeded or failed so i can prolong or cancel user profile in my application? I know there is IPN but it should be used with old Classic API.

Take a look at Instant Payment Notification . It will allow you to automate tasks based on all sorts of transactions on your account, including new subscription profiles and payments related to them.
