I'm trying to use the Paypal classic api with python but I keep getting the 10002 error. I understand this is to do with authentication, so I have checked all of the authentication details, but all seems fine.

Here is the code:

from paypal import PayPalInterface

paypal_api = PayPalInterface(API_USERNAME="xxxxx",\
API_PASSWORD="xxxxx",\
API_SIGNATURE="xxxxx",\
DEBUG_LEVEL=0,\
HTTP_TIMEOUT=30)

balance = paypal_api._call('GetBalance')

Here I try to get the account balance, but get the error code:

paypal.exceptions.PayPalAPIResponseError: u'Security header is not valid' (Error Code: 10002)

I also get the same error code using the TransactionSearch method. Any ideas as to what could be wrong?

Thanks

If you are trying to access with live PayPal credentials (not sandbox), you can set:

API_ENVIRONMENT = "PRODUCTION"
