# NameValuePair.fetchNameValueNames

`fetchNameValueNames` accepts one parameter consisting of a type name, which must be one of the strings that `fetchNameValueTypes` returns. The `fetchNameValueNames` method returns an array of strings consisting of a list of distinct names from among the name/value pairs that the calling merchant has associated with objects of the given type.

## Input

*srd*: sparse response description, a SOAP string (which must be a JSON object), in which you specify the elements you want returned.This parameter enables the calling system to constrain a `method` call to return only components you specify. This gives you greater control over returned content, and improves response time within the Vindicia platform by reducing the processing needed for the call.

Some fields are required, either practically or in the WSDL, and will be returned regardless of the *srd*. A null *srd* returns the complete response.

*type*: the type of object for which the Names should be returned. This may be any of the Subscribe objects that reference the `NameValuePair` object, and includes: `Account`, `AutoBill`, `BillingPlan`, `CurrencyAmount`, `PaymentMethod`, `Product`, `TimeInterval`, `Transaction`, `WebSession`.

## Output

*return*: an object of type `Return` that indicates the success or failure of the call.

*names*: an array of distinct names from the `NameValuePair` object associated with the input object.

## Returns

In addition to those listed in [The Return Object](The_Return_Object), this call returns:

| Return Code | Return String |
| - | - |
| `400` | One of the following: - `Invalid Type.` - `Failed to retrieve name/value names.` |

## Example

```

$nvp = new NameValuePair();
$response = $nvp->fetchNameValueNames('Account');

if ($response['returnCode'] == 200) {
   $names = $response['names];
   foreach ($names as $name) {
      print "$name\n";
   }
}
else {
   print "Error: " . $response['returnString'] . "\n";
}
```
