# Request a refund for an unused paid gift

`POST /sends/{id}/gift-link/refund`

## Request

- Base URL: `https://gtmswag.com/api/v1`
- URL: `https://gtmswag.com/api/v1/sends/{id}/gift-link/refund`
- Auth: API key in cookie `gtm_session`

Human only: A signed-in owner or admin does this in the browser at gtmswag.com. API keys and OAuth connections receive 403 HUMAN_APPROVAL_REQUIRED with a `url` to hand to that person. Revokes the link and records the request; repeating it for the same generation returns the same request.

## Path parameters

- `id` string, required

## Request body

- object
  - `generation` integer, required: The link's current generation.

## Response `200`

Success: `{"data": GiftRefund}`.

- GiftRefundResponse: The success body: `{"data": GiftRefund}`.
  - `data` GiftRefund, required: A refund request for an unused paid gift.
    - `id` string, required: Refund request ID (gref_ or cfr_).
    - `sendId` string, required
    - `campaignId` string, required
    - `recipientName` string, required
    - `amountCents` integer, required
    - `mode` 'test' | 'live', required
    - `status` 'requested' | 'processing' | 'refunded' | 'declined', required
    - `note` string, nullable
    - `createdAt` string, required

## Other responses

- `400`: Bad request: `VALIDATION_ERROR`, `INVALID_JSON`. Each example says when.
- `401`: Not authenticated: `AUTH_REQUIRED`. no credentials, or an OAuth token on a route that only takes workspace keys; the key is malformed, unknown or revoked.
- `403`: Forbidden: `HUMAN_APPROVAL_REQUIRED`, `TEAM_MANAGER_REQUIRED`. Each example says when.
- `404`: Not found: `NOT_FOUND`. Each example says when.
- `409`: Conflict: `GIFT_LINK_CONFLICT`, `INVALID_REQUEST`, `FUNDING_REFUND_CONFLICT`. Each example says when.
- `413`: Request too large: `INVALID_REQUEST`. the body exceeds 1 MiB.
- `415`: Unsupported media type: `INVALID_REQUEST`. a write with a body that is not `Content-Type: application/json` (a key request with no body needs no Content-Type).
- `429`: Too many requests: `RATE_LIMIT`. more than 240 requests in the current minute for this workspace (REST and MCP share the limit); wait `retryAfterMs`.
- `default`: Any other refusal or failure, such as 403 CSRF (a cross-origin `Origin` header), 403 HTTPS_REQUIRED or 500 INTERNAL_ERROR, with what to do next.
