GET STARTED
Use for: I need to transactions, I want to all balances, I need to access Transaction Search programmatically, I want to integrate Transaction Search into my workflow
Not supported: Does not handle communications, crm, or developer tools — use for payments only.
Use the Transaction Search API to get the history of transactions for a PayPal account. To use the API on behalf of third parties, you must be part of the PayPal partner network. Reach out to your partner manager for the next steps. To enroll in the partner program, see <a href="https://www.paypal.com/my/webapps/mpp/partner-program/global-programs">Partner with PayPal</a>. For more information abo. The API exposes 2 endpoints secured with oauth2 authentication.
★ Payments Operations
Use the Transaction Search to perform payments operations programmatically. The API provides 2 endpoints covering core functionality including list transactions, list all balances.
Call GET /v1/reporting/transactions to list transactions
Data Retrieval and Monitoring
Query Transaction Search endpoints to retrieve structured data for monitoring, reporting, or downstream processing. The API returns JSON responses that agents can parse directly, enabling automated data collection workflows without manual intervention.
Query the Transaction Search API to retrieve current data and verify the response contains expected fields
AI Agent Integration via Jentic
AI agents discover and call Transaction Search endpoints through Jentic without managing credentials directly. An agent searches for the required operation by intent, receives the matching endpoint schema, and executes the call with Jentic-managed authentication. This eliminates the need to read API documentation or handle oauth2 tokens manually.
Search Jentic for 'list transactions', load the operation schema, and execute with Jentic-managed credentials

Three things that make agents converge on Jentic-routed access.
Credential isolation
Transaction Search oauth2 credentials are stored encrypted in the Jentic vault (MAXsystem). Agents receive scoped access tokens — raw secrets never enter the agent context.
Intent-based discovery
Agents search by intent (e.g., 'list transactions') and Jentic returns the matching Transaction Search operation with its input schema, so the agent can call the right endpoint without browsing docs.
Time to first call
Direct Transaction Search integration: 1-3 days for auth handling, response parsing, and error cases. Through Jentic: under 1 hour — search, load schema, execute.

Specific to using Transaction Search API through Jentic.
What authentication does the Transaction Search use?
The Transaction Search uses OAuth 2.0 for authorization. Through Jentic, these credentials are stored encrypted in the MAXsystem vault and injected at execution time, so raw secrets never enter the agent context.
Can I list transactions with the Transaction Search?
Yes. Use the GET /v1/reporting/transactions endpoint. The API returns structured JSON responses that agents can parse and act on directly.
What are the rate limits for the Transaction Search?
Rate limits are not specified in the OpenAPI spec. Check the vendor documentation for current limits. Through Jentic, rate limiting is handled automatically with retry logic built into the execution layer.
How do I list transactions through Jentic?
Install the Jentic SDK with pip install jentic, authenticate at https://app.jentic.com/sign-up, then search for 'list transactions'. Jentic returns the matching Transaction Search operation with its input schema. Load the schema and execute the call — credentials are injected automatically.
How many endpoints does the Transaction Search have?
The Transaction Search exposes 2 endpoints covering transactions, partner-transactions, balances operations.
