paypal web experience profile list is empty but can't create new profile -


i use paypal rest api create checkout process in web shop application. works fine web experience profile.

so far, try check if profile specific name exists (because web application created befor):

function get_pp_profiles($pp_token) {     $ct = curl_init();      // set url , other appropriate options     curl_setopt($ct, curlopt_url, pp_profile_endpoint);     curl_setopt($ct, curlopt_header, false);     curl_setopt($ct, curlopt_returntransfer, true);      $curl_http_headers = array('content-type: application/json', 'accept: application/json', 'authorization: ' . $pp_token->token_type . ' ' . $pp_token->access_token);     curl_setopt($ct, curlopt_httpheader, $curl_http_headers);       if ( $out = curl_exec($ct) )     {         $profile_list = json_decode($out);         curl_close($ct);         return $profile_list;     } else     {         curl_close($ct);         return false;     } }

i empty array (no error). tried on console "plain" curl (w/o php), - same result.

so, since there no profile, i'm supposed set new 1 this:

function set_pp_profile(&$pp_token) {     $ct = curl_init();     $now = time();      // set url , other appropriate options     curl_setopt($ct, curlopt_url, pp_profile_endpoint);     curl_setopt($ct, curlopt_header, false);     curl_setopt($ct, curlopt_returntransfer, true);     curl_setopt($ct, curlopt_post, true);      $profile =                  array(                       "name" => pp_profile_name,                       "temporary" => true,                       "presentation" => array(                                             "brand_name" => "my brand name",                                             "logo_image" => "http://sonedomain.com/whatever.png",                                             "locale_code" => "de"                                             ),                       "input_fields" => array(                                             "no_shipping" => 1,                                             "address_override" => 1                                           ),                       "flow_config" => array(                                             "landing_page_type" => "billing",                                             "user_action" => "commit",                                             "bank_txn_pending_url" => "http://somedomain.com/some_path/"                                           )                     );      $pdata = json_encode($profile, json_pretty_print | json_numeric_check | json_unescaped_slashes | json_unescaped_unicode);     $curl_http_headers = array('content-type: application/json', 'accept: application/json', 'authorization: ' . $pp_token->token_type . ' ' . $pp_token->access_token, 'content-length: ' . strlen($pdata));      curl_setopt($ct, curlopt_httpheader, $curl_http_headers);     curl_setopt($ct, curlopt_postfields, $pdata);      if ( $out = curl_exec($ct) )     {         echo $out;         curl_close($ct);         $profile_object = json_decode($out);         return $profile_object;     } else     {         curl_close($ct);         return false;     } }

but fail return paypal:

{"name":"validation_error","debug_id":"956cbce081ac2","message":"invalid request - see details","information_link":"https://developer.paypal.com/webapps/developer/docs/api/","details":[{"field":"name","issue":"a profile name exists"}]}

does know what's going on there?

thanks lot in advance!

additional test run , info:

i know profile name must unique. (but don't know if can use name had been used before deleting profiles.)

so tested follows:

  1. call function set_pp_profile(), changed line 14 follows:

    "name" => substr(md5("" . time() . rand()), 0, 12),

the result is, expected, profile object.

  1. call function get_pp_profiles(). function returns empty array. put out var_dump , get:

    array(0) { }

my conclusion problem has nothing unique profile names. paypal developer docs profile last 3 hours or forever, depending on "temporary"-parameter. seem not true.

solved: problem paypal developer manual. api call

get /v1/payment-experience/web-profiles

will return only profiles parameter "temporary" set "false". but, if created profiles temporary == true, exist, (but hidden)! that's why can't create new profile same name 3 hours. rather poor documentation.
