Paypal-Transaction

This connector is optimized for AI agents. For the data replication connector, see Paypal Transaction.

The Paypal-Transaction agent connector is a Python package that equips AI agents to interact with Paypal-Transaction through strongly typed, well-documented tools. It's ready to use directly in your Python app, in an agent framework, or exposed through an MCP.

Connector for the PayPal Transaction Search API. Provides access to transaction history, account balances, payments, disputes, catalog products, and invoices for a PayPal account. Uses OAuth2 client credentials for authentication.

Example questions

The Paypal-Transaction connector is optimized to handle prompts like these.

List all balances for my PayPal account
Show recent transactions from the last 7 days
List all catalog products
Show details for a specific product
List all disputes
Show recent payments
What transactions had the highest amounts last month?
Find all declined transactions
Show disputes grouped by status
What is the total balance across all currencies?

Unsupported questions

The Paypal-Transaction connector isn't currently able to handle prompts like these.

Create a new payment
Refund a transaction
Delete a dispute
Update product details

Installation

uv pip install airbyte-agent-sdk

Usage

Connectors can run in open source or hosted mode.

Open source

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

Hosted

In hosted mode, API credentials are stored securely in Airbyte Cloud. You provide your Airbyte credentials instead. If your Airbyte client can access multiple organizations, also set organization_id.

This example assumes you've already authenticated your connector with Airbyte. See Authentication to learn more about authenticating. If you need a step-by-step guide, see the hosted execution tutorial.

The connect() factory returns a fully typed PaypalTransactionConnector and reads AIRBYTE_CLIENT_ID / AIRBYTE_CLIENT_SECRET from the environment:
