How to make a Paypal refund using transaction id in the REST API Call?

[Amardeep2]

Hi Guys,

I am using srmklive package for Paypal integration. 

https://srmklive.github.io/laravel-paypal/docs.html

I want to refund a payment using transaction id but this package or the rest API doesn't provide any such end point. 

Is it possible to refund a payment using transaction id? 

I have already tried the sample codes such as:

$transactionId = "XYZ";
$amount = 10.00; 
$provider = new PayPalClient();
$refundResponse = $provider->refund([
'transaction_id' => $transactionId,
'amount' => [
'total' => $amount,
'currency' => 'USD',
],
]);

Please suggest!

Thanks
