All items (apart from the biography text) on an ORCID record have a put code:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="yes"?>
<record:record path="/0000-0001-2345-6789" xmlns:internal="https://www.orcid.org/ns/internal" [...]>
<funding:funding-summary put-code="4413" path="/0000-0001-2345-6789/funding/4413" visibility="public" display-index="0"> [...]
</record:record>

Using the section endpoint and put code, you can call the API using your same access token to get that specific item in full. This example call retrieves the full funding item 4413 in XML format using the member API on the sandbox server.
Method: GET Accept: application/vnd.orcid+xml Authorization type and Access token: Bearer [stored access token]URI: https://api.sandbox.orcid.org/v3.0/[ORCID iD]/funding/4413
The API will return a 200 OK message to indicate that the message was received successfully and return the full XML of the funding item:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="yes"?>
<funding:funding put-code="4413" path="/0000-0002-9227-8514/funding/4413" visibility="public" [...] >
