Get Single Authorization
This endpoint retrieves details of a single authorization by its authorization_reference.
Notes:
- authorization_reference:: Must exist and belong to the requesting merchant.
- Merchant Ownership: Strictly enforced - only the business that created the authorization can retrieve it. Attempting to access another business’s authorization returns 403 Forbidden.
- Authentication: Valid Authorization header required (same format as authorize endpoint).
- Security: The system verifies business ownership by comparing the authenticated business.
