(C#) PayPal - Find Captures

Finds captures for previous authorizations. (A capture is when the funds from an authorization are captured. There can be more than one capture, where the sum adds to the full authorization amount or an amount lower than the authorized amount.)

Note: This example requires Chilkat v9.5.0.65 or greater.

Chilkat .NET Downloads Chilkat .NET Framework Chilkat for .NET Core

// Note: Requires Chilkat v9.5.0.65 or greater.

// This requires the Chilkat API to have been previously unlocked.
// See Global Unlock Sample for sample code.

// Load our previously obtained access token. (see PayPal OAuth2 Access Token)

// Build the Authorization request header field value.

// token_type should be "Bearer"
sbAuth.Append(jsonToken.StringOf("token_type"));
sbAuth.Append(" ");

// Make the initial connection.
// A single REST object, once connected, can be used for many PayPal REST API calls.
// The auto-reconnect indicates that if the already-established HTTPS connection is closed,
// then it will be automatically re-established as needed.
