Get an outgoing payment

An authorized client can look up the state of an outgoing payment on a wallet address. This is useful when a client must determine if an outgoing payment is still active and pending payment.

These code snippets return the state and details of a specific outgoing payment, if found.

Before you begin

We recommend creating a wallet account on the test wallet. Creating an account allows you to test your client against the Open Payments APIs by using an ILP-enabled wallet funded with play money.
