      description: 'Retrieve a list of payments and their details based on some filtering criteria.

        Regardless the payment criteria provided, response MUST be always limited to payments performed by the API client (i.e same oAuth credentials) triggering this request.

        This is to guarantee no API client can check payments performed by other, therefore avoiding any legal or privacy topic.


        When Access Token is issued for a given user phone number, the list of payments returned would be only the ones associated to that user phone number and API client. When Access Token is not associated to a user phone number, therefore only associated to API client the list of payments returned would be all the ones managed by that API client.


        Considerations regarding `paymentCreationDate.gte`, `paymentCreationDate.lte`:

        - If both included, return payments in that date range

        - If no one included, no filtering by date range is applied

        - If only settled `paymentCreationDate.gte`, `paymentCreationDate.lte` is considered current date-time

        - If only settled `paymentCreationDate.lte`, every payment existing in the Operator billing system until such date is returned'
