Access transactions/order history using the paypal api

Hi folks, I have a new project to begin which will involve using PAYPAL. My client currently uses ebay with paypal for the ecommerce side of their business.

In this case, they do NOT require for there to be an option to send payments through their website as it is not an ecommerce website. They are happy that ebay manages their needs for managing the payments.

All I need is the ability to access their transaction history and pull the data from their paypal orders/payments into the website so that I can create a nice centralised admin panel for managing this for their own business needs. At the moment they have to manually get the information from the paypal dashboard and process this manually on their internal systems.

Ideally this is something I'd like to automate for them through their new website if the api allows?

I've been through the docs and see there is a /payments/payment endpoint but it looks like this is used with regard to payments coming from the website through the api and not historic activity. I may be wrong here, please feel free to clarify.

If anyone can help I'd be very grateful.

Many thanks, Lewis
