Testing PayPal Web Services API Applications
Testing with the PayPal SDK Console
Follow the remaining steps begining with Step 4.
Testing with the PayPal SDK Console
The PayPal SDK includes a self-contained console for testing basic features of the SDK. With
the console, you can make actual PayPal Web Services API calls and is a good tool for
checking that your environment is properly configured and for learning the API structures and
elements.
For more information about the PayPal SDK, see the PayPal SDK Guide for any of the
supported platforms: Java, Microsoft .NET Framework, and PHP with PEAR.
API Overview By Business Function and Service Endpoint
The PayPal Web Services API consists of individual APIs for specific business uses, and the
