Get refund details for an order

After you receive a REFUND_REQUESTED event, you parse the resources array of the event to get the order ID, and then you query the associated order to get information about any refunds that are associated with the order.

The following example query gets the line item, product, and refund data for an order. The response shows that the refund is in PENDING state. The refund is associated with line item example-line-item-id. The estimated amount to be refunded is $10.
