Paypal-Transaction authentication

This page documents the authentication and configuration options for the Paypal-Transaction agent connector.

Authentication

Open source execution

In open source mode, you provide API credentials directly to the connector.

OAuth

credentials fields you need:

Field Name	Type	Required	Description
client_id	str	Yes	The Client ID of your PayPal developer application.
client_secret	str	Yes	The Client Secret of your PayPal developer application.
access_token	str	No	OAuth2 access token obtained via client credentials grant. Use the PayPal token endpoint with your client_id and client_secret to obtain this.

Example request:

from airbyte_agent_paypal_transaction import PaypalTransactionConnector
from airbyte_agent_paypal_transaction.models import PaypalTransactionAuthConfig

connector = PaypalTransactionConnector(
    auth_config=PaypalTransactionAuthConfig(
        client_id="<The Client ID of your PayPal developer application.>",
        client_secret="<The Client Secret of your PayPal developer application.>",
        access_token="<OAuth2 access token obtained via client credentials grant. Use the PayPal token endpoint with your client_id and client_secret to obtain this.
>"
    )
)

Token

This authentication method isn't available for this connector.

Hosted execution

In hosted mode, you first create a connector via the Airbyte API (providing your OAuth or Token credentials), then execute operations using either the Python SDK or API. If you need a step-by-step guide, see the hosted execution tutorial.

OAuth

Create a connector with OAuth credentials.

credentials fields you need:

Field Name	Type	Required	Description
client_id	str	Yes	The Client ID of your PayPal developer application.
client_secret	str	Yes	The Client Secret of your PayPal developer application.
access_token	str	No	OAuth2 access token obtained via client credentials grant. Use the PayPal token endpoint with your client_id and client_secret to obtain this.

replication_config fields you need:

Field Name	Type	Required	Description
start_date	str (date-time)	Yes	Start date for data extraction in ISO 8601 format. Date must be in range from 3 years till 12 hours before present time.

Example request:

curl -X POST "https://api.airbyte.ai/api/v1/integrations/connectors" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer <YOUR_BEARER_TOKEN>" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "customer_name": "<CUSTOMER_NAME>",
    "connector_type": "Paypal-Transaction",
    "name": "My Paypal-Transaction Connector",
    "credentials": {
      "client_id": "<The Client ID of your PayPal developer application.>",
      "client_secret": "<The Client Secret of your PayPal developer application.>",
      "access_token": "<OAuth2 access token obtained via client credentials grant. Use the PayPal token endpoint with your client_id and client_secret to obtain this.
>"
    },
    "replication_config": {
      "start_date": "<Start date for data extraction in ISO 8601 format. Date must be in range from 3 years till 12 hours before present time.
>"
    }
  }'

Bring your own OAuth flow

To implement your own OAuth flow, use Airbyte's server-side OAuth API endpoints. For a complete guide, see Build your own OAuth flow.

Step 1: Initiate the OAuth flow

Request a consent URL for your user.

Field Name	Type	Required	Description
customer_name	string	Yes	Your unique identifier for the customer
connector_type	string	Yes	The connector type (e.g., "Paypal-Transaction")
redirect_url	string	Yes	URL to redirect to after OAuth authorization

Example request:

curl -X POST "https://api.airbyte.ai/api/v1/integrations/connectors/oauth/initiate" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer <YOUR_BEARER_TOKEN>" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "customer_name": "<CUSTOMER_NAME>",
    "connector_type": "Paypal-Transaction",
    "redirect_url": "https://yourapp.com/oauth/callback"
  }'

Redirect your user to the consent_url from the response.

Step 2: Handle the callback

After the user authorizes access, Airbyte automatically creates the connector and redirects them to your redirect_url with a connector_id query parameter. You don't need to make a separate API call to create the connector.

https://yourapp.com/oauth/callback?connector_id=<connector_id>

Extract the connector_id from the callback URL and store it for future operations. For error handling and a complete implementation example, see Build your own OAuth flow.

Token

This authentication method isn't available for this connector.

Execution

After creating the connector, execute operations using either the Python SDK or API. If your Airbyte client can access multiple organizations, include organization_id in AirbyteAuthConfig and X-Organization-Id in raw API calls.

Python SDK

from airbyte_agent_paypal_transaction import PaypalTransactionConnector, AirbyteAuthConfig

connector = PaypalTransactionConnector(
    auth_config=AirbyteAuthConfig(
        customer_name="<your_customer_name>",
        organization_id="<your_organization_id>",  # Optional for multi-org clients
        airbyte_client_id="<your-client-id>",
        airbyte_client_secret="<your-client-secret>"
    )
)

@agent.tool_plain # assumes you're using Pydantic AI
@PaypalTransactionConnector.tool_utils
async def paypal_transaction_execute(entity: str, action: str, params: dict | None = None):
    return await connector.execute(entity, action, params or {})

API

curl -X POST 'https://api.airbyte.ai/api/v1/integrations/connectors/<connector_id>/execute' \
  -H 'Authorization: Bearer <YOUR_BEARER_TOKEN>' \
  -H 'X-Organization-Id: <YOUR_ORGANIZATION_ID>' \
  -H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
  -d '{"entity": "<entity>", "action": "<action>", "params": {}}'
