[FIXED] When calling paypal rest api it says invalid scope

Issue

Currently when i call below api it says invalid scope
https://www.sandbox.paypal.com/connect/?scope=openid%20email&response_type=code&redirect_uri={uri}&client_id={clientId}

can someone help me for this issue, as i need to call below APIs. so, how can i get relevant scopes

• get merchant details : /retail/merchant/v1/status
• create orders : v2/checkout/orders
• capture orders : v2/checkout/orders/+orderId+/capture
• get user info with details : v1/identity/oauth2/userinfo?schema=paypalv1.1

Solution

Ordinary usage of the REST API does not involve any of that -- here is the documentation for getting an access token.

Are you integrating Log in with PayPal, specifically? The URL in your screenshot is specifically for Log in / Connect with PayPal. To request the 'email' scope with such an integration you must enable it within the Sandbox App Settings. Changes may take 9 hours to have an effect.

Again, using the REST API has nothing to do with those scope attributes.
