Confusion about PayPal API version number?

Question

I am completely confused by version numbers. I found documentation that shows up to API version 82.0 and the changes made to this version:

https://cms.paypal.com/us/cgi-bin/?cmd=_render-content&content_ID=developer/e_howto_api_nvp_PreviousAPIVersionsNVP

However, when I use the integration wizard here (for C # / ASP.NET):

https://www.paypal-labs.com/integrationwizard/ecpaypal/main.php

... it generates PayPal features for version "2.3" ... no, where is version 82.0 next to it.

What is the difference? Besides the version numbers, they seem to use the same API. If there is a difference, where can I find API version 2.3 documentation?

Answer 1

The integration wizard is simply out of date and occurs because of the time before they start using the "large version numbers", such as 65, 68, 81, 82, 83, etc.
106.0 is the current latest version.
You can find the latest version of the API by downloading WSDL at https://www.paypalobjects.com/wsdl/PayPalSvc.wsdl and looking at the ns: version. This is the latest version of the API.

New changes can be introduced with new versions of the API, but the basic functions will remain the same.
For example, concurrent payments are only available with API version 65.1 (before this, PAYMENTREQUEST did not exist).
