I am using Paypal recurring payments and direct payment.

I tested it using beta-sandbox and works fine. Now I want to make to real paypal account.

I have been given real paypal account, and I login with it on https://www.paypal.com/, but I don't know how can I generate API Credentials ?

this looks completely different from sandbox environment.
