Does anyone know how many API calls PayPal allow each day? I'm using GetRecurringPaymentsProfileDetails to check if payment has been successfully made and I might be doing the API call a lot of times each day. They have the error code on their docs but didn't specify the rate limit.
Thanks
I've never run into any daily limit issues with API calls. That said, I try to avoid hitting the API that many times.
I would recommend you take a look at Instant Payment Notification (IPN). It will automatically POST details about transactions to a URL listener you have on your server. That script that receive the data and update your system accordingly. This happens in real-time so everything would update automatically and immediately. This way you don't have to hit the API to pull details because IPN will feed those details as they happen.

There is a crm system, which provides webhooks to notify about some events happening in it (for instance, user creates some entity or moves it to the next 'status'). At some event a webhook triggers my script, that creates a new entity in this crm system using it's API. The system's API has a rate limit – 7 request per second. By violating this rule the access to the API may be restricted for the account for some time.
The problem is, that if user changes 'status' of 1000 entities the webhook triggers my script 1000 times, so it calls the API 1000 times and that may violate the rate limit. Is there any way to temporarily 'store' all requests that came from the webhook and then launch the script no more than n-times per second?
The script is written in php and is located on my Apache server now, but later it may be put on client's server or somewhere else.
I've read about Rabbit MQ and Kafka. But it seems to be an overkill for this task. Or maybe it's OK? I just don't have enough experience with these systems.
Any help would be appreciated.
I'm a developer and am new to Square.
We are going to enter sales into the Square app on iPads and I have to send the sales and payment information automatically and asap to NetSuite (a cloud ERP system)
I'm reading the API docs and can't see a way to run some code when a sales
order is created. Is there a way?
If the answer to 1 is no then which part of the API can I call periodically to request a list of all sales orders since the last time I asked?
Have you looked into using webhooks to be notified when a transaction takes place? Once you receive a notification from the webhook you can then call the appropriate endpoint to get the information you want to send to NetSuite.
Sometimes the PayPal API fails to give back a payout_id but still processes a payment (i.e. because the server is down).
I have some payments that I would like to fetch information for, but only have the batch_sender_id (the id that I gave each payment).
Is there a way to get the payment information with PayPal's API? There doesn't seem to be a way to fetch payments without the payout_id.
Resubmit with the same batch_sender_id, it should return html code 400 with a link to the resource that contains the previously submitted request. So before making a request to PayPal be sure to store the batch_sender_id so you can re-request later if you do not get a response.
Let's say i have successfully added a user using addSiteAccount1. How long do i have to wait in order to begin retrieving the user's transactions using executeUserSearchRequest?
Is there any other way way to retrieve the transactions other than using executeUserSearchRequest?
Usually it takes around 2-5 seconds.
Yes you can have a look at our Yodlee APIs which was recently out and you can retrieve transactions even from that. Following are the details:
Yodlee API: https://developer.yodlee.com/Yodlee_API
For getting Transactions:https://developer.yodlee.com/apidocs/index.php#!/transactions/getTransactions
Endpoint: GET /{cobrandName}/v1/transactions
API: Get Transactions
Hope that helps.

I am attempting to integrate Authorize.net into my site. I have set up and activated a test account in their test.authorize.net domain and have obtained and inserted their API key/login for my account into my configurations. I run my script through their API and I get the proper success message that they've received the information. However, every time I log into the test.authorize.net domain and search for the transactions via their Search tab, it always returns with nothing regardless of what parameters I search with. What can cause this?
Look in the unsettled transactions. That's where they'll be.
FYI, Authorize.Net developer accounts do not actually process transactions. They only validate that the data you sent over via their API was valid and complete. If it is you will receive an approved response with a fake transaction number, approval, and AVS response code (which is always a match). If your made an invalid API call an error message will be returned alerting you to your error so you can correct it.
If you don't want o call Authorize.Net for support or they give you the run around, you can also get help in their developer forums.
Authorize.net does not actually log transactions in test mode.
You should call their support; they are fantastic. However, from my experience you typically get a shared account where lots of tests are running and it can be hard to search for your transaction.
