Reference: https://docs.mitu.ai/api-reference/payment-links/get-payment-link

## Authentication

- `x-api-key` header (required) — Account API key used to authenticate server-side requests. Use the credentials issued for the same environment as the API base URL.

- `https://sandbox-api.mitu.ai` (Sandbox)

## Request

### Path parameters

- `id` (string, required) — Unique identifier of the resource.

## Response

### 200

Payment link retrieved successfully.

- `message` (string, required)
- `data` (PaymentLink, required)

## Errors

### 401 Unauthorized Error

Authentication failed because the API key is missing or invalid.

- `message` (string, required) — Human-readable description of the error.

### 403 Forbidden Error

The authenticated account is not allowed to perform this action.

- `message` (string, required) — Human-readable description of the error.

### 404 Not Found Error

The requested resource could not be found.

- `message` (string, required) — Human-readable description of the error.

### 422 Unprocessable Entity Error

One or more request fields are invalid.

- `message` (string, required)
- `errors` (list of ValidationErrorDetail, required)

### 429 Too Many Requests Error

### 500 Internal Server Error

## Types

### PaymentLink

- `id` (string, optional)
- `type` (enum, optional)
  - Allowed values: `charge`, `subscription`, `session`, `per_request`
- `status` (enum, optional)
  - Allowed values: `pending`, `partial`, `active`, `settling`, `paid`, `settled`, `expired`, `cancelled`
- `amount` (string, optional) — Decimal amount sent as a string.
- `amount_paid` (string, optional) — How much of the amount has been paid so far.
- `currency` (string, optional)
- `description` (string, optional, nullable)
- `reference` (string, optional, nullable)
- `url` (PayUrl, optional) — The two ways to pay one resource. `checkout` is the page a person opens; `agent` is the 402-protected route an AI agent calls. They are not interchangeable — an agent given the checkout URL receives HTML instead of a payment challenge.
- `payment_methods` (list of enum, optional, nullable) — The agent payment methods available for this payment. `null` means no restriction — every method your account supports is available.
  - Allowed values: `x402`, `mpp_crypto`, `mpp_spt`
- `viewed_at` (datetime, optional, nullable) — When a payer first opened the link. `null` means nobody has opened it yet.
- `expires_at` (datetime, optional, nullable)
- `paid_at` (datetime, optional, nullable)
- `created_at` (datetime, optional)

### ValidationErrorDetail

- `field` (string, required) — Field that failed validation.
- `message` (string, required) — Description of the validation problem.

### PayUrl

The two ways to pay one resource. `checkout` is the page a person opens; `agent` is the 402-protected route an AI agent calls. They are not interchangeable — an agent given the checkout URL receives HTML instead of a payment challenge.

- `checkout` (string, required) — The hosted checkout a person opens.
- `agent` (string, required) — The route an AI agent pays programmatically.
