I want to use paypal sandbox accounts for some testing, and I watched a great youtube vid on how. But when I try to create a developer account it says at the top that only US businesses can use REST APIs. I don't know what this means, but the form is set up for US costomers with ZIP and 3-digit code for telephone number.
Long and short, can I use this service in the UK? If so how? Do I just enter my details in the American form?
Any help appreciated,
Robin.

a couple of months ago I made this https://github.com/Kaustubh-Natuskar/companies-to-apply repository which contains the list of 300 PBC's and startups I got a good response for that. But I have decided to take this further I want to make a website from this idea.
there will be a list of companies if there is an opening a red circle will denote it.
Now the problem is how can I know that there are openings?
API is a great option where I can cache the results and then display them like above.
is there any API on LinkedIn where if I post a request with the company's id or name I'll get current openings?
It doesn't look like it.
There is the Job Posts XML feed, but the documentation implies that it's not free (and difficult to get access to):
The integration of the XML feed is limited to those developers approved by LinkedIn. Reach out to your Business Development contact to meet certain criteria and sign an agreement in order to use this integration.
Compliance with our contract and guidelines is integral. Refer to Job Posting Guidelines for details.
If you are not yet a LinkedIn Talent Solutions Partner, please contact the team at ll-bd#linkedin.com to request for evaluation.
Here is Microsoft's full documentation on the LinkedIn APIs.
Really sorry for posting this question here (since due to some reason I am unable to post this on LinkedIn forums). I need to work on a project wherein I can increase the number of prospective customers for a company. We want to leverage LinkedIn's database for the same. I went through articles and the program that I got interested in was "LinkedIn Marketing Developer Program" and we will be looking forward to using it to create ads for specific audiences. But I am not able to see if I will have access to people search since this post says that I will have access to it but I cannot find confirmation on LinkedIn access documentation here. I have two queries: Is it possible to access people search API wherein we can get individuals in a particular demographic region under the "LinkedIn Marketing Developer Program"? If not this program, in general, can we get paid access to the people search API?
PS: Please do not mark this question as irrelevant as asking question on LinkedIn forum is disabled (cannot click submit button on the given link even after adding all the details to the form).
People Search is not offered by any of LinkedIn's Partner Programs.
This is completely new territory for me. I'm in the process of getting up to speed with WordPress with the aim of using it as a resource to raise funds for charities. I've been looking at links such as:
https://developer.paypal.com/docs/classic/lifecycle/ug_sandbox/
and
https://www.paypal.com/us/selfhelp/article/How-can-my-charity-or-nonprofit-use-PayPal-to-collect-donations-FAQ1068
together with a number of other resources, but I need to know exactly where to start from scratch.
Basically I would like to set up a test PayPal account which can accept dummy credit card numbers for both dummy deposits and withdrawals in order to test it out in such a way that from a WordPress theme I can make mock donations, then check that the "balance" has been credited, then be a dummy charity that can make mock withdrawals.
Presumably there are free test accounts that can do this with documentation. I've looked at some of the documentation, but it would be nice to know where to start, as there is so much.
Looking forward to some friendly and helpful reply.

To answer this question simply, use https://www.sandbox.paypal.com.
If you want to manage all your sandbox accounts, you will need to create the accounts within PayPal Developer.
Visit PayPal Developer and sign up for a PayPal account or login to an existing one.
To access PayPal Developer site, you need to login with a real PayPal account (non-sandbox).
Create a sandbox account after logging into PayPal Developer.
You will be creating a testing account you will use when logging into the testing environment.
After creating all the accounts you need, ie. receiving side (you) & sending side (donator), you can use these accounts to make sandbox transactions.
Basically, production is www.paypal.com and sandbox (testing) is www.sandbox.paypal.com.
As with PayPal integration with WordPress, there should be a lot of plugins for this. You can even just generate a HTML donate button from within your PayPal account to create a donate button that will send donation to that account which generated the button.
I am developing a website for our GTA Online Crew, basically a gaming community, my issue lies in verifying that they are the user they say they are when they register (For example if there username on social club is GTOFAN01, we want to ensure that person uses the same username on our site when they register).
As we want all website users to have the same names from social club (owned by Rockstar and I have no way to change anything on there end...) to our website to avoid confusion / posers / trolls etc.
I've had a few ideas but they all create a lot of manual work or I am not sure how to implement, but I have narrowed it down...
Let anyone register and then manually send them a confirmation code through social club to the account name they have said they are.
somehow find out who they are currently logged in as on social club, if this matches the name they supplied then let them in.
find someway to send a message to there social club message box
2 is by far the best, but I can figure out a way to achieve it... I cannot read cookies or session variables from another domain.
Any ideas?
There are several different ways of achieving "federated identity". I would recommend taking a look at OAuth and OpenId. Asp.net Identity has OAuth integration.
See also:
OpenID vs. OAuth
What's the difference between OpenID and OAuth?
The way I ended up going was generating a random qoute for the user to post on the social club (checking it didn't exist first), as the social club feed is public I can then check to see if the qoute was posted and by whom, if this matches who they told us they were then there registration is accepted.
Obviously this is not the greatest solution, but it works and as I've stated I have no control over the social club nor do they offer any way to authenticate a user.
The other befit to this method is it encourages use of the feed which we also wanted to do.
I would like to create a paypal developer account for myself, however it seems that the developer account registration only accepts US addresses.
What should I do?
Use a fake US address. You don't need to attach any bank accounts or credit cards to a developer account, so this is a harmless way of getting around Paypal's stupid and arbitrary new developer rules.
Indeed, I couldn't find a way around this either, being a UK developer, so had to put a US address in.... I used http://www.fakenamegenerator.com to get a 'valid' telephone number and zip code to get the form to work.
PayPal really seem to miss the point if you are outside the US, despite the same page promoting that you can use the service in over 190 markets and 25 currencies...
