Paypal Internal Server Error when capturing payment with rest api - rest

Question

I have this issue in a C#-based project, but I can reproduce it with curl as well. The code was working a few days ago but now it isn't and I'm pretty sure I haven't changed it.
I have a payment that has been authorized and I have its ID, which is correct (when I close the transaction with their online tool I get AUTHORIZATION_ALREADY_COMPLETED instead of Server 500 error).
Here's what I do with curl to repro it, sensitive info redacted:
// check if the AUTHIDHERE code is correct:
curl -v -X GET https://api.paypal.com/v1/payments/authorization/AUTHIDHERE -H "Content-Type:application/json" -H "Authorization:Bearer BEARER123"
the above call works and returns:
{
"id": "AUTHIDHERE",
"create_time": "2013-07-17T21:17:58Z",
"update_time": "2013-07-17T21:18:00Z",
"state": "authorized",
"amount": {
"total": "1.35",
"currency": "USD",
"details": {
"subtotal": "1.35"
}
},
"parent_payment": "PAY-SOMELONGIDHERE",
"valid_until": "2013-08-15T21:17:58Z",
"links": ...whole bunch here]}
}
then I call the capture
curl -v https://api.paypal.com/v1/payments/authorization/AUTHIDHERE/capture \
-H "Content-Type:application/json" -H "Authorization:Bearer BEARER123" \
-d '{"amount":{"currency":"USD","total":"1.32"},"is_final_capture":true}
and I get this with HTTP 500 status:
{
"name": "INTERNAL_SERVICE_ERROR",
"message": "An internal service error has occurred",
"information_link": "https://developer.paypal.com/webapps/developer/docs/api/#INTERNAL_SERVICE_ERROR",
"debug_id": "7edadeba20509"
}
Some other debug_id values are: 062fc6964d9a8, 6eebc751504eb

Answer 1

quick update: interestingly they all failed in the underlying acquirer call - trying to figure out what went wrong.
Are these all debug_ids associated with the same authorization_id ?
