Create an order with preauth through the API?

I know I can easily create an order through the API using something like this:
https://apisandbox.dev.clover.com/v3/merchants/ME... and the body just contains { state: 'open' }

My issue is that I would like to preAuth those orders by using the `preAuths` attribute that is defined in the V3 API defined here: https://www.clover.com/api_docs/#!/orders/CreateOr...

However when I enter any preAuth details....something like:
"preauths": [{"cardTransaction": { "last4": "1111", "first6": "411111", "cardholderName": "Doe, John", "currency": "USD", "cardType": "visa"}}]

I don't see any authorizations or pre-authorizations in the sandbox web portal to show that it went through. Am I doing something wrong? Do I need to add more fields?

To do something like this through our API would require you to utilize our Developer API. However, our Developer API does not currently support creating preAuths.
