Paxos Transfers API
Each deposit to and withdrawal from a Paxos account is a Transfer. A Transfer is associated with a particular Profile, and increases or decreases the available balance of a single asset in that Profile.

summary: List Transfers
description: 'List all transfers, optionally filtering and paging the results.
By default, transfers are returned in reverse chronological (descending)
order by creation time.
The recommended polling workflow is to query the results in ascending
order (by setting `order_by` to `CREATED_AT`), keeping track of the
`created_at` timestamp of the most recent transfer in the paged results.
Once transfers are discovered, the caller should store the returned `ID`
and query GetTransfer to retrieve status updates.'
