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.

Check out this guide to Obtaining API Credentials from PayPal. You will find how to create/view/remove your API signature/certificate in PayPal's live setting.

This is not helpful. Check out the direct URL in the comment from Rashid on Nov 19 paypal.com/us/cgi-bin/webscr?cmd=_login-api-run – Azikiwe
Nice to see that URL supplies API credentials regardless of the user's permissions! Another load of rubbish from PayPal... – Ping

Log in to Paypal. Click Tools or hover over Tools and click All Tools from the drop down menu. Sort alphabetically and API Credentials will be the first one.
