Research direction

No file or test is named. Start by checking the CyberSource REST API documentation for re-authorization of an expired authorization without the original card data, then inspect this Node.js client for existing authorization examples. Done means documenting a supported request and example, or confirming that the API cannot support this flow.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

Is it possible to take an existing authorization transaction, with the transaction details and re-authorize it? I am thinking about time when an authorization has expired and I do not have access to the original card data. This is for use cases like shipment delays, or partial shipments.

Are there any code examples that accomplish this?
