Two days ago, something broke with our paypal integration. Unfortunately, trying to contact paypal support has proven to be of no help (no reply in 2 days), so I'll try my luck, here.
Requesting the token (curl https://api.paypal.com/v1/oauth2/token -H "Accept: application/json" -H "Accept-Language: en_US" -u "****:****" -d "grant_type=client_credentials") started ALWAYS returning an empty response and well, a 500 error.
Note that the same works just fine with api.sandbox.paypal.com and sandbox credentials.
I double checked our credentials and they are fine. Note as well, that it doesn't matter what credentials I use, it always returns the same - 500.
Here's the output of curl ... -v; looks like you have an internal server error, as the 500 shows:
* About to connect() to api.paypal.com port 443 (#0)
