PayPal API Summary
PayPal's REST API is comprehensive and well-documented, offering OAuth2 authentication with excellent SDK support across multiple languages.
The API covers payments, subscriptions, invoicing, disputes, and merchant onboarding extensively. With over 180 endpoints and robust sandbox testing, it provides powerful tools for e-commerce integration. The API includes advanced features like webhooks, idempotency support, and detailed error handling. However, the breadth of features can be overwhelming for newcomers, and some operations require PayPal Business accounts.
Rate limits vary by endpoint. It's ideal for businesses needing full-featured payment processing with global reach across 200+ markets, though approval processes for certain features can be lengthy.
