# Transaction.fetchByAccount

The `fetchByAccount` method returns one or more `Transaction` objects associated with the `Account` object specified in the input. Call this method to retrieve one-time, recurring, migrated, or other types of transactions in Subscribe for a given customer.

Since transactions change their status as they go through their life cycle in Subscribe, the returned `Transaction` objects might show a different status from before, especially for Subscribe-processed transactions. The latest `Transaction` status is the first entry in the `statusLog` array (see the `statusLog` attribute in the table on the `Transaction` object data members).

## 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 this flag is omitted, Subscribe will interpret it as `false`, and constructs the query without looking at any child's account.

## Output

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

*transactions*: an array of one or more `Transaction` objects 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 transaction by!` |
| `404` | `Unable to load account to search by: *error-description*.` |

## Example

```

// Create an Account object to represent an
// existing customer account by its id
$account = new Account();
$account->setMerchantAccountId('jdoe101');

// create a transaction object to make the call
$soap_tx= new Transaction();

// fetch the record(s)
$response = $tx->fetchByAccount($account);
if($response['returnCode'] == 200) {
   $fetchedTxns = $response['data']->transactions;

   // process fetched transactions here
   if ($fetchedTxns != null) {
      foreach ($fetchedTxns as $fetchedTx) {
         // process a fetched transaction here
         print "Transaction VID " . $fetchedTx->getVID();
         print "Transaction amount ". $fetchedTx->getAmount();
         print "Transaction status ";
         print $fetchedTx->statusLog[0]->status . "\n";
      }
   }
   else {
      print "No transactions found \n";
   }
}
```
