# Get Single Authorization

`GET /card/auth_capture/authorize/{authorization_reference}`

This endpoint retrieves details of a single authorization by its authorization_reference. 

> **Notes:**
>
> 1. **authorization_reference:**: Must exist and belong to the requesting merchant.
> 2. **Merchant Ownership:** Strictly enforced - only the business that created the authorization can retrieve it. Attempting to access another business’s authorization returns 403 Forbidden.
> 3. **Authentication:** Valid Authorization header required (same format as authorize endpoint). 
> 4. **Security:** The system verifies business ownership by comparing the authenticated business.
