# Token.fetch

The `fetch` method returns an existing `Token` object that matches your token ID (`merchantTokenId`) or the VID for the object as specified in the input.

## 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.

*token*: the `Token` object that serves as the search criterion. Identify this object with either its VID or your token ID (`merchantTokenId`).

## Output

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

*token*: the returned `Token` object.

## Returns

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

| Return Code | Return String |
| - | - |
| `400` | `No token specified to load!` |

## Example

```

$soapCaller = new Token();

$tok = new Token();
$tok->setMerchantTokenId("ANY_TIME_PHONE_MINUTES");
$response = $tok->fetch();

if($response['returnCode'] == 200) {
   $fetchedToken = $response['data']->token;
   print "Fetched token with id: " .    
         $fetchedToken->merchantTokenId . " and VID: ";
   print $fetchedToken->VID . " and description: " . 
         $fetchedToken->description;
   print "\n";
}
```
