Since PayPal works with basic authentication issuing short-lived tokens, the library requires the user to trigger the token exchange loop before making any requests to the REST API.
The paypal.identify() will return a promise that will resolve with true when the client has obtained the authorization and also a ready event will be emitted.
It is recommended to check if the paypal.ready property is strictly true before trying to fetch or make any requests.
To get your app's client id and secret go to https://developer.paypal.com/developer/applications/.

const PayPalClient = require("@modcord/paypal-client");
const paypal = new PayPalClient({
  client_id: "AT5...3sR", // Your PayPal app client id.
  secret: "EDv...lcj", // Your PayPal app secret.
  environment: "sandbox", // The environment for the run, can be either "live" or "sandbox".
  keep_cache: false // Whether to populate manager's cache with information when you fetch one or more instances.
});

paypal.on("ready", () => {
  console.log("The authorization has been resolved, and the library is ready to make requests..");
});

paypal.identify();

Important!!

All of the examples below assume you set up the library the way it is shwon above, if you did it in another way you will need to tweak the examples for your own use case.
The examples below show the full list of parameters you can use to call a method or do a specific thing, when the comment next to it says is optional, you may ommit to include that in your code.
