https://developer.paypal.com/docs/limited-release/balance-accounts/v2/api/
I try also with
"Authorization: Access-Token" But the response is the same, i readed and searched in the docs, i dont found anything and the acces token is fresh so i dont understand, cause the acces token i get is valid.

You are sending a POST request instead of a GET request. Use httpx.get instead of httpx.post.
You can even use httpx_auth to keep your code focusing on what you want to retrieve:
import paypalrestsdk
import httpx
import httpx_auth
class paypal:
def __init__(self):
self.auth = httpx_auth.OAuth2ClientCredentials(
token_url='https://api.sandbox.paypal.com/v1/oauth2/token',
client_id='XXXX',
client_secret='XXXX',
)
def getBalance(self):
response = httpx.get(url='https://api.sandbox.paypal.com/v2/wallet/balance-accounts', auth=self.auth)
print(response.status_code)
response_data = response.json()
print(response_data)
available = response_data['total_available'][0]['value']
print(response_data)
if __name__ == "__main__":
s = paypal()
s.getBalance()
