Hello All,
I have implemented the Sandbox PayPal API in my project. I am able to complete all the steps of transaction in my application.
Now I am using LIVE account client ID and Secret key in project. but I am not able to generate token using new clientid and secreat key.
below is my key and value in Appsetting section of web.config file.
<add key="clientId" value="MyClientID"/>
<add key="clientSecret" value="MyclientSecret"/>
Then Below is my code of Paypal class.
public static class PaypalConfiguration
{
//Variables for storing the clientID and clientSecret key
public readonly static string ClientId;
public readonly static string ClientSecret;
//Constructor
static PaypalConfiguration()
{
var config = GetConfig();
ClientId = Convert.ToString(GetWebConfigVar("clientId")); //PaypalConfiguration["clientId"];
ClientSecret = Convert.ToString(GetWebConfigVar("clientSecret"));// config["clientSecret"];
}
// getting properties from the web.config
public static Dictionary<string, string> GetConfig()
{
return PayPal.Api.ConfigManager.Instance.GetProperties();
}
private static string GetAccessToken()
{
// getting accesstocken from paypal
// string accessToken = new OAuthTokenCredential
//(ClientId, ClientSecret, GetConfig()).GetAccessToken();
string accessToken = GetPayPalAccessToken(ClientId, ClientSecret);
return accessToken;
}
private static string GetPayPalAccessToken(string _ClientID, string _Secret)
{
string PaypalClientID = _ClientID;
string PaypalSecret = _Secret;
string AccessToken = "";
try
{
OAuthTokenCredential tokenCredential = new OAuthTokenCredential(PaypalClientID, PaypalSecret);
AccessToken = tokenCredential.GetAccessToken();
}
catch (PayPal.IdentityException ex)
{
// ex.Details provides quick access to the API error information.
}
catch (PayPal.HttpException ex)
{
// Some other error occurred when attempting to send the request to PayPal.
// ex.Response contains the full response from the API which should highlight the error encountered.
}
catch (PayPal.PayPalException ex)
{
// A general exception was thrown from the SDK.
}
catch (System.Exception ex)
{
// Some other general exception occurred.
}
return AccessToken;
}
public static APIContext GetAPIContext()
{
// return apicontext object by invoking it with the accesstoken
APIContext apiContext = new APIContext(GetAccessToken());
apiContext.Config = GetConfig();
return apiContext;
}
public static string GetWebConfigVar(string strVarName)
{
string strRet = "";
if (!string.IsNullOrEmpty(strVarName))
{
try
{
strRet = ConfigurationManager.AppSettings[strVarName];
}
catch (Exception objEx)
{
//ErrorHandler.HandleExceptionNoRedirect(objEx);
//SystemMessaging.WriteToLog("Error retrieveing ConfigurationSettings.AppSettings value from web.config" + objEx.Message, "");
}
}
return strRet;
}
}
Now I am getting following error. at GetPayPalAccessToken function while generating token.
"The remote server returned an error: (401) Unauthorized." While I checked in inner exception i found that respones : "{"error":"invalid_client","error_description":"Client Authentication failed"}" It sending request to "https://api.sandbox.paypal.com/v1/oauth2/token"
still after updating the client id. Also I tried with line
<add key="mode" value="live"/> in web config file. but still no luck.
Please help me to resolved the issue related to Paypal access token.
Thanks In Advance.
Omkar.
