Article
03/20/2023

Gets a list of the accounts and customers that match the specified filter criteria.

Request Elements

The FindAccountsOrCustomersInfoRequest object defines the body and header elements of the service operation request. The elements must be in the same order as shown in the Request SOAP.

Note

Unless otherwise noted below, all request elements are required.

Request Body Elements

Element	Description	Data Type
Filter	The criteria to use to filter the list of accounts and customers. You can specify either an account name, account number, or customer name. The filter value can contain a partial or full name or number. The operation includes the account or customer in the result if the name or number begins with the specified filter value. The operation performs a case-insensitive comparison when it compares your filter value to the name or number. For example, if you specify "t" as the filter value, the list will include accounts and customers whose names begin with "t" or "T". The operation filters first for accounts that match the filter criteria. If the number of accounts that match the filter criteria is less than the specified TopN value, the operation searches for customers whose name matches the filter criteria. Setting this element to an empty string is the same as calling the GetAccountsInfo followed by calling the GetCustomersInfo.	string
ReturnAdditionalFields	The list of additional properties that you want included within each returned account. The additional field values enable you to get the latest features using the current version of Customer Management API, and in the next version the corresponding elements will be included by default. This request element is optional.	AccountAdditionalField
TopN	A nonzero positive integer that specifies the number of accounts to return in the result. You must specify a value from 1 through 5,000.	int
