# Getting Started with PayPal Server SDK

## Introduction

### Important Notes

- **Available Features:** This SDK currently contains only 5 of PayPal's API endpoints. Additional endpoints and functionality will be added in the future.

### Information

The PayPal Server SDK provides integration access to the PayPal REST APIs. The API endpoints are divided into distinct controllers:

- Orders Controller: [Orders API v2](https://developer.paypal.com/docs/api/orders/v2/)
- Payments Controller: [Payments API v2](https://developer.paypal.com/docs/api/payments/v2)
- Vault Controller: [Payment Method Tokens API v3](https://developer.paypal.com/docs/api/payment-tokens/v3/) *Available in the US only.*
- Transaction Search Controller: [Transaction Search API v1](https://developer.paypal.com/docs/api/transaction-search/v1/)
- Subscriptions Controller: [Subscriptions API v1](https://developer.paypal.com/docs/api/subscriptions/v1/)

## Install the Package

Run the following command from your project directory to install the package from npm:

```bash
npm install @paypal/paypal-server-sdk@2.2.0
```

For additional package details, see the [Npm page for the @paypal/paypal-server-sdk@2.2.0 npm](https://www.npmjs.com/package/@paypal/paypal-server-sdk/v/2.2.0).

## Initialize the API Client

**_Note:_** Documentation for the client can be found [here.](https://www.github.com/paypal/PayPal-TypeScript-Server-SDK/tree/2.2.0/doc/client.md)

The following parameters are configurable for the API Client:

| Parameter | Type | Description |
|  --- | --- | --- |
| environment | `Environment` | The API environment. <br> **Default: `Environment.Sandbox`** |
| timeout | `number` | Timeout for API calls.<br>*Default*: `0` |
| httpClientOptions | [`Partial<HttpClientOptions>`](https://www.github.com/paypal/PayPal-TypeScript-Server-SDK/tree/2.2.0/doc/http-client-options.md) | Stable configurable http client options. |
| unstableHttpClientOptions | `any` | Unstable configurable http client options. |
| logging | [`PartialLoggingOptions`](https://www.github.com/paypal/PayPal-TypeScript-Server-SDK/tree/2.2.0/doc/partial-logging-options.md) | Logging Configuration to enable logging |
| clientCredentialsAuthCredentials | [`ClientCredentialsAuthCredentials`](https://www.github.com/paypal/PayPal-TypeScript-Server-SDK/tree/2.2.0/doc/auth/oauth-2-client-credentials-grant.md) | The credential object for clientCredentialsAuth |

The API client can be initialized as follows:

### Code-Based Client Initialization

```ts
import { Client, Environment, LogLevel } from '@paypal/paypal-server-sdk';

const client = new Client({
  clientCredentialsAuthCredentials: {
    oAuthClientId: 'OAuthClientId',
    oAuthClientSecret: 'OAuthClientSecret'
  },
  timeout: 0,
  environment: Environment.Sandbox,
  logging: {
    logLevel: LogLevel.Info,
    logRequest: {
      logBody: true
    },
    logResponse: {
      logHeaders: true
    }
  },
});
```

### Configuration-Based Client Initialization

```ts
import * as path from 'path';
import * as fs from 'fs';
import { Client } from '@paypal/paypal-server-sdk';

// Provide absolute path for the configuration file
const absolutePath = path.resolve('./config.json');

// Read the configuration file content
const fileContent = fs.readFileSync(absolutePath, 'utf-8');

// Initialize client from JSON configuration content
const client = Client.fromJsonConfig(fileContent);
```

See the [Configuration-Based Client Initialization](https://www.github.com/paypal/PayPal-TypeScript-Server-SDK/tree/2.2.0/doc/configuration-based-client-initialization.md) section for details.

### Environment-Based Client Initialization

```ts
import * as dotenv from 'dotenv';
import * as path from 'path';
import * as fs from 'fs';
import { Client } from '@paypal/paypal-server-sdk';

// Optional - Provide absolute path for the .env file
const absolutePath = path.resolve('./.env');

if (fs.existsSync(absolutePath)) {
  // Load environment variables from .env file
  dotenv.config({ path: absolutePath, override: true });
}

// Initialize client using environment variables
const client = Client.fromEnvironment(process.env);
```

See the [Environment-Based Client Initialization](https://www.github.com/paypal/PayPal-TypeScript-Server-SDK/tree/2.2.0/doc/environment-based-client-initialization.md) section for details.

## Environments

The SDK can be configured to use a different environment for making API calls. Available environments are:

### Fields

| Name | Description |
|  --- | --- |
| Production | PayPal Live Environment |
| Sandbox | **Default** PayPal Sandbox Environment |

## Authorization

This API uses the following authentication schemes.

* [`Oauth2 (OAuth 2 Client Credentials Grant)`](https://www.github.com/paypal/PayPal-TypeScript-Server-SDK/tree/2.2.0/doc/auth/oauth-2-client-credentials-grant.md)
