Retrieve a return

[A7am]

I need to retrieve a return, I am stuck with this how to get a return Id in order to retrieve a return.
When we do request a return, I get the return ID. 
But Other than that there is a way to get the return ID using admin APIs.

I have also tried this 
{store_URL}/orders.json?return_status=return_requested

In this i did not got the return ID.

Please check the order data using the get request /admin/orders/{order_id}.json  and then check the response in your console and then you will figure out how you can use it. But I am not sure if you will get the return status or not but you will get the return id. 

Thank you

Is there an update on this?

Seems like Return ID is only available if return is created using API call - https://shopify.dev/docs/apps/fulfillment/returns-apps/returns#step-2-request-a-return.

There seems no way to fetch the return ID if the return was initiated using Shopify Admin UI. And retrieving a return needs the ID -https://shopify.dev/docs/apps/fulfillment/returns-apps/returns#step-2-request-a-return 

Same applies to the Approve/Decline operations for Returns, where Return ID is mandatory.

It will be great if someone from Shopify can through some light on this.

Was there any update on it, we are also looking to retrieve Returns from Shopify.

Yes, can be done through GraphQL

1. Get Orders with Returns requested. This gives the request ID needed for subsequent calls.
   You can filter the results based on order#.
   Examples - https://shopify.dev/docs/api/admin-graphql/2024-01/queries/order#examples-Get_sales_agreements_for_a...
   
2. List of available Statuses that you could use - https://shopify.dev/docs/api/admin-graphql/2024-01/enums/OrderReturnStatus
3. Using the Return ID
   1. Approve Return - https://shopify.dev/docs/apps/fulfillment/returns-apps/returns#approve-a-request
   2. Decline Return - https://shopify.dev/docs/apps/fulfillment/returns-apps/returns#decline-a-request
   3. Optional, Cancel return - https://shopify.dev/docs/apps/fulfillment/returns-apps/returns#step-5-optional-cancel-a-return

Hope this saves some time.

Yes it does saves a lot of time. Is there a way to get only the Orders with Return Id. I'm new to GraphQL so trying to understand as I go.
