# Getting Started with PayPal Server SDK
## Introduction
### Important Notes
- **Available Features:** This SDK currently contains only 5 of PayPal's API endpoints. Additional endpoints and functionality will be added in the future.

- Orders Controller: [Orders API v2](https://developer.paypal.com/docs/api/orders/v2/)
- Payments Controller: [Payments API v2](https://developer.paypal.com/docs/api/payments/v2)
- Vault Controller: [Payment Method Tokens API v3](https://developer.paypal.com/docs/api/payment-tokens/v3/) *Available in the US only.*
- Transaction Search Controller: [Transaction Search API v1](https://developer.paypal.com/docs/api/transaction-search/v1/)
- Subscriptions Controller: [Subscriptions API v1](https://developer.paypal.com/docs/api/subscriptions/v1/)

**Default: `Environment.SANDBOX`** |
| timeout | `int` | Timeout for API calls in seconds.
*Default*: `0` |
| enableRetries | `bool` | Whether to enable retries and backoff feature.
*Default*: `false` |
| numberOfRetries | `int` | The number of retries to make.
*Default*: `0` |
| retryInterval | `float` | The retry time interval between the endpoint calls.
*Default*: `1` |
| backOffFactor | `float` | Exponential backoff factor to increase interval between retries.
*Default*: `2` |
| maximumRetryWaitTime | `int` | The maximum wait time in seconds for overall retrying requests.
*Default*: `0` |
| retryOnTimeout | `bool` | Whether to retry on request timeout.

| proxyConfiguration | [`ProxyConfigurationBuilder`](https://www.github.com/paypal/PayPal-PHP-Server-SDK/tree/2.0.0/doc/proxy-configuration-builder.md) | Represents the proxy configurations for API calls |
| clientCredentialsAuth | [`ClientCredentialsAuth`](https://www.github.com/paypal/PayPal-PHP-Server-SDK/tree/2.0.0/doc/auth/oauth-2-client-credentials-grant.md) | The Credentials Setter for OAuth 2 Client Credentials Grant |
The API client can be initialized as follows:
```php
use PaypalServerSdkLib\Logging\LoggingConfigurationBuilder;
use PaypalServerSdkLib\Logging\RequestLoggingConfigurationBuilder;
use PaypalServerSdkLib\Logging\ResponseLoggingConfigurationBuilder;
use Psr\Log\LogLevel;
use PaypalServerSdkLib\Environment;
use PaypalServerSdkLib\Authentication\ClientCredentialsAuthCredentialsBuilder;
use PaypalServerSdkLib\PaypalServerSdkClientBuilder;
$client = PaypalServerSdkClientBuilder::init()
->clientCredentialsAuthCredentials(
ClientCredentialsAuthCredentialsBuilder::init(
'OAuthClientId',
'OAuthClientSecret'
)
)
->environment(Environment::SANDBOX)
->loggingConfiguration(
LoggingConfigurationBuilder::init()
->level(LogLevel::INFO)
->requestConfiguration(RequestLoggingConfigurationBuilder::init()->body(true))
->responseConfiguration(ResponseLoggingConfigurationBuilder::init()->headers(true))
)
->build();
```
## Environments
