I have been trying to get this GetVerifiedStatus API to work but it just doesn't work.

I have tried using a valid email address on http://www.dev-tool.com/pptester/NVP/CallType.aspx?ServiceID=51&CallTypeID=53 As well as directly and through curl but they all give error of 'Api credentials are incorrect'. Does anyone know how to do it?

Then I have another question, paypal says that GetVerifiedStatus API takes in email,first name and last name. (as mentioned in )

However there is this guy who says that he verified using email, password and signature successfully... anybody has any idea where do password and signature comes in it from?

Thanks

The link you're referring to is talking about an API username, password and signature.

To use GetVerifiedStatus, you must send email, firstName, lastName and matchCriteria. See also page 63 of https://www.paypal-biz.com/development/documentation/PP_AdaptiveAccounts.pdf

    The document doesn't help either... isn't there anywhere they give an example url with some test account? I have tried with giving API username,signature and password but that gives the same error of 'API credentials are incorrect' – Usman Zaheer Oct 25 '11 at 19:54

To use GetVerifiedStatus.php here is what you have to do:

  1. Create an account paypal sandboc
  2. Create a preconfigured account
  3. Click on API and Payment Card Credentials to view your account credentials

  4. Update the following code with the credentials you got from step 3

    //PayPal API Credentials
$API_UserName = "sbapi_1287090601_biz_api1.paypal.com"; //TODO
$API_Password = "1287090610"; //TODO
$API_Signature = "ANFgtzcGWolmjcm5vfrf07xVQ6B9AsoDvVryVxEQqezY85hChCfdBMvY"; //TODO

//PAYPAL SANDBOX LOGIN EMAIL
$API_SANDBOX_EMAIL_ADDRESS = "rishaque@paypal.com"; <<<<< THIS IS YOUR LOGIN EMAIL ADDRESS

I hope this help.
