Paypal api – How to get variables that were sent with paypal transaction (NODEJS)

i’m creating app that integrates Angular 8 and NodeJS as orderer for paypal. I’m wondering how to get all items that i send to transaction. For example this is my createOrder object: 

 request.requestBody({
    intent: 'CAPTURE',
    purchase_units: [{
      amount: {
        value: '7',
        currency_code: 'USD',
        breakdown: {
          item_total: {value: '7', currency_code: 'USD'}
        }
      },
      invoice_id: 'muesli_invoice_id',
      items: [{
        name: 'Hafer',
        unit_amount: {value: '3', currency_code: 'USD'},
        quantity: '1',
        sku: 'haf001'
      }, {
        name: 'Discount',
        unit_amount: {value: '4', currency_code: 'USD'},
        quantity: '1',
        sku: 'dsc002'
      }]
    }]
  });

But when i’m trying to capture this transaction on my server: 

  const paymentId = req.body['paymentID'];
    const request = new paypal.orders.OrdersCaptureRequest(paymentId);
    request.requestBody({});
    // Call API with your client and get a response for your call
    let response = await payPalClient.execute(request);
    res.send(response);

I’m not getting items list, just this basic informations from paypal (shipping address etc.)

What is the problem here? What have I got to change when i want to get this items list back?

    Ok, solution is simple. Server capture route should look like this: 

    app.route('/success').post(async (req,res) => {
    const paymentId = req.body['paymentID'];
    let requestDetails = new paypal.orders.OrdersGetRequest(paymentId);
    let responseDetails = await payPalClient.execute(requestDetails);
    res.send(responseDetails);
});

    We should use let requestDetails = new paypal.orders.OrdersGetRequest(paymentId); instead of const request = new paypal.orders.OrdersCaptureRequest(paymentId);

    Remember to capture request after seing all its details. Whole request should look like this : 

    let requestDetails = new paypal.orders.OrdersGetRequest(paymentId);
let responseDetails = await payPalClient.execute(requestDetails);
const request = new paypal.orders.OrdersCaptureRequest(paymentId);           
await payPalClient.execute(request); 
res.send(responseDetails);

    There isn’t a way. The capture response does not include the line item details.

    From what I can tell, using the v2/payments API to get the details of the captured payment (1XE85118J8824304V in your example) may also not return the line item details — although you can test and confirm.

    Unless, maybe, you send the line item details in your capture API call close to where you are actually trying to get them back in your question. That is to say, add and send them in again here at capture time:

    const request = new paypal.orders.OrdersCaptureRequest(paymentId);
request.requestBody({});

    Then, maybe, it would be possible to get them back in a later payment details call.

    But basically you need to keep track of this information yourself.

    On an unrelated note,

      invoice_id: 'muesli_invoice_id',

    The value of invoice_id should always be a uniquely generated value, never before used on that account for a successfully-captured payment. Here it seems you’re re-using the same string, which is a no-no.
