from paypalserversdk.logging.configuration.api_logging_configuration import LoggingConfiguration
from paypalserversdk.logging.configuration.api_logging_configuration import RequestLoggingConfiguration
from paypalserversdk.logging.configuration.api_logging_configuration import ResponseLoggingConfiguration
from paypalserversdk.paypal_serversdk_client import PaypalServersdkClient

client = PaypalServersdkClient(
    client_credentials_auth_credentials=ClientCredentialsAuthCredentials(
        o_auth_client_id='OAuthClientId',
        o_auth_client_secret='OAuthClientSecret'
    ),
    environment=Environment.SANDBOX,
    logging_configuration=LoggingConfiguration(
        log_level=logging.INFO,
        request_logging_config=RequestLoggingConfiguration(
            log_body=True
        ),
        response_logging_config=ResponseLoggingConfiguration(
