In the more recent versions of their API they have provided the ColdFusion development community with a CFC that interfaces with their Java API. Then, when they dropped the requirement for a client-side .P12 certificate to be passed with each request as the only way to authenticate against their api, and added the option to use a signature string instead, they got close to a useful solution for the average CF developer. The only thing that still causes many ColdFusion people to cringe and pull their hair out, is the fact that the PayPal.cfc returns a java object, which is something most CF developers don't deal with on a regular basis (if at all). Fortunately for you, I have already taken the time to go through each of the API calls, and through the use of many cfdumps, I found every piece of information available in each of the responses, and then I put them into nice CF developer friendly ColdFusion structures.
