Retrieves the line items of a committed standalone transaction as a collection.

Parameters

ending_beforestring
A cursor for use in pagination. ending_before is an object ID that defines your place in the list. For instance, if you make a list request and receive 100 objects, starting with obj_bar, your subsequent call can include ending_before=obj_bar in order to fetch the previous page of the list.

limitinteger
A limit on the number of objects to be returned. Limit can range between 1 and 100, and the default is 10.

starting_afterstring
A cursor for use in pagination. starting_after is an object ID that defines your place in the list. For instance, if you make a list request and receive 100 objects, ending with obj_foo, your subsequent call can include starting_after=obj_foo in order to fetch the next page of the list.

Returns

A list of Line Item objects if the Tax Transaction is found. Otherwise returns a ‘not found’ error.
