PayPal API does not support Items?

PayPal does not support API to read/update Items? -as in the Items being sold. I see API for Payments, Vaults, sale Transactions, Orders, ... I also checked PayPal Here SDK, I could not find one. Please let me know if I am looking at the wrong place. Where do I find the API to read Items - such as name of Item, Item Id, Item Price ...

Please refer to this image, pulled from Paypal website- enter image description here How is the list of items managed -what you see on the right is the list of items/services offered by the merchant. What you see on the left is the Transaction? My question is given the list of Items (on the right), how was it managed?

So when the merchant enters the information at the POS hardware it just remains local on the system or maybe on the cloud and PayPal does not expose API to manage/Read/GET the List? (sorry for the rhetorical question - could not frame it any other easy way)

Are you referring to the details of the item(s) on an order that was paid with PayPal?

If I understand you correctly then the GetTransactionDetails API would give you what you're after. It returns an details for any items that were included on the original payment request.

Why would it?

Paypal is only interested in taking payment for an item. You can send through a reference and a description, but paypal doesnt care about your items, so it doesnt provide an API.
