# Refund.fetchByAccount

The `fetchByAccount` method returns one or more `Refund` objects that represent refunds made for Transactions whose `Account` object matches the input. Call this method for a list of all the refunds that have been issued to a certain customer.

## 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.

*account*: the `Account` object that serves as the search criterion. Use the `merchantAccountId` or `VID` to identify the object.

*includeChildren*: an optional Boolean flag that, if set to `true`, includes any children associated with this `Account`. If `null` or `false`, Subscribe will construct the query without including children accounts.

## Output

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

*refunds*: an array of one or more `Refund` objects associated with the `Transaction` objects that are, in turn, associated with the `Account` object specified in the input.

## 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: - `Unable to load account to search by: No matches.` - `No account specified to load refunds by!` |
| `404` | `Unable to load account to search by:` *error-description*. |

## Example

```

$account = new Account();
$account->setMerchantAccountId('jdoe101');

$refund = new Refund();
$response = $refund->fetchByAccount($account);
if($response['returnCode'] == 200) {
   $fetchedRefunds = $response['data']->refunds;

   // process fetched refunds here
   if ($fetchedRefunds != null) {
      foreach ($fetchedRefunds as $fetchedRef) {
         // process a fetched refund here
         print "Refund VID " . $fetchedRef->getVID();
         print "Refund amount ". $fetchedRef->getAmount();
         print "Refund timestamp ". $fetchedRef->getTimestamp();
      }
   }
}
```
