Retrieve a Payment Intent

Retrieve a Payment Intent resource by ID.

A Payment Intent can be retrieved from the client side using a public API key when the client_secret is passed via query string. Getting the payment intent from the client side is normally done through our client-side library called PayRexJS. If you will retrieve the payment intent from our backend, you can use the secret API key wihout passing the client secret.

Fetching the Payment Intent using the secret API key from the backend returns more sensitive information than retrieving it from the client side. The attributes returned from the client side through public API are the information needed to complete a payment.
