REST APIs > Where to find documentation for Reference Transactions?

[no_clue]

Dear Helpers,

I can't find the documentation for reference transactions for the REST APIs.

Where can I find it within https://developer.paypal.com/api/rest/

We used the PayPal PHP Merchant SDK and the so called Billing Agreements. 

We have the agreement ids and the transaction_ids of our customers. Can we use those informations with the REST APIs to initialize future payments? 

Thank you very much!

Thanks for your answer.

For all user: Reference transactions in form of billing agreements are not supported within REST APIs. You have to use NVP/SOAP.
