@MohamedSabthar The PayPal api seems to have multiple different spec files. Each for their endpoint How do i go on about preparing the spec? Should i combine them into one single file?

@aazam-gh This connector specifically focuses on the subscriptions endpoint, so use the OpenAPI specification specific to the subscriptions endpoint.
