How to access all transactions my PayPal account received via Api?-CodePudding

I have a bussiness account on PayPal and I need to use the API to get all transactions (money that other people paid me on PayPal) in my account. So far I managed to obtain the access_token using the API however when I try to access the transactions I get an error. My code (PHP) is below:

$context = stream_context_create(array(

    "http" => array(
    
        "ignore_errors" => true,
        "method"  => "GET",
        "header" => array(
        
            "Content-Type: application/json",
            "Authorization: Bearer " . "access_token"
            
        )
        
    )
    
));

echo file_get_contents("https://api-m.paypal.com/v1/reporting/transactions?start_date=2022-01-01T00:00:00-0700&end_date=2022-01-12T23:59:59-0700&fields=all",0,$context);

I always get this as the response:

{"localizedMessage":"No permission for the requested operation. ","suppressed":[],"name":"PERMISSION_DENIED","message":"No permission for the requested operation. ","details":[{"field":null,"value":null,"location":null,"issue":"No permission for the requested operation. "}],"information_link":"https://developer.paypal.com/docs/classic/products/permissions/","debug_id":"45cb548f7bddb"}

I followed the information link in the response but it ends up in a 404 page. Maybe what I need is not the transactions API but I have no idea what part of the API would grant me access to all the payments people made to me... any idea?

After enabling and saving that permission, the change may take up to 9 hours to have an effect if you have a cached access token from previous oauth2 calls to use the API. But, you can simply terminate your old access token to thus get a new one instead of waiting 9 hours.
