Step 2: View single transaction details

Get all the details about a single transaction that has occurred on your account in standard JSON payload format. Note that in sandbox, orders are excluded from the results.
There are a number of additional parameters available for you to filter your results. For more information, see the API reference.
This endpoint requires a type and id in the path. The type determines what kind of transaction you’re looking up, and the id format varies accordingly:
TypeID formatExample
transactionUUID (the transaction’s id)19bbf64b-ddfb-48ee-b125-66ed4455d534
paymentInteger (the payment’s id)123456
orderString (the originOrderId)F6VOXCZ1AMND
boxTransactionUUID (the transactionBox.id)992e9652-d313-4ea7-aa93-b96b247627c2
In this example, we’re retrieving a payment transaction by its ID. Replace {accountId} with your account ID and YOUR_API_KEY_HERE with your API key. 
curl -i -X GET \
  'https://api-sandbox.equalsmoney.com/v2/activity/payment/123456?accountId=F12345' \
  -H 'Authorization: ApiKey YOUR_API_KEY_HERE'
If your request is successful, you’ll receive a 200 response containing a single transaction object.

The response structure varies depending on the transaction type. For card transactions (resourceType: "card"), the response includes cardTransaction and merchant objects. For box transactions (resourceType: "box"), the response includes transaction box details.

​
Example: Get a transaction by UUID

You can also look up a transaction using the transaction type with a UUID. This is useful when you have a transaction id from the list endpoint and want to get its full details. 
curl -i -X GET \
  'https://api.equalsmoney.com/v2/activity/transaction/19bbf64b-ddfb-48ee-b125-66ed4455d534?accountId=F12345' \
  -H 'Authorization: ApiKey YOUR_API_KEY_HERE'
When using type=transaction, the API automatically determines the transaction subtype (card, credit/debit, or BVNK) based on the transaction’s internal type, and returns the appropriate response structure. For full details on all response structures, see the View single transaction guide.
