Simulate Fleet Transactions

Handle Transactions

1. [A Highnote account](https://dashboard.highnote.com/auth/signin?screen_hint=signup)
2. An [API key](/docs/basics/graphql-api/using-the-highnote-graphql-api#authentication) or the [API Explorer](/docs/explorer/default)
3. A card product, financial account, and payment card
4. *Optional* - Real or [simulated transactions](/docs/issuing/transactions/simulate-transactions)

Prerequisites

Financial account activity is recorded in the Highnote ledger. To build a transaction feed for your account holders, you can query a financial account to return its account activity and associated ledgers. Building transaction feeds against a financial account ensures financial account activity carries across all payment cards associated with the financial account.

Note the following when querying for financial account activity: 
- **For financial accounts with no activities:** The Highnote API returns four specific ledgers, `CASH`, `AVAILABLE_CASH`, `CREDIT_OUTSTANDING`, `AVAILABLE_CREDIT`. 
- **For financial accounts with activities:** The Highnote API only returns ledgers that have at least one activity on them.

Use the following query to return financial account activity: 

~~~graphql
query FindFinancialAccount(
  $id: ID!
  $firstActivities: Int
  $activitiesAfterCursor: String
) {
  node(id: $id) {
    __typename
    ... on FinancialAccount {
      __typename
      id
      financialAccountActivities(
        first: $firstActivities
        after: $activitiesAfterCursor
      ) {
        pageInfo {
          hasNextPage
          hasPreviousPage
          startCursor
          endCursor
        }
        edges {
          cursor
          node {
            __typename
            sign
            isComplete
            pendingAmount {
              value
              currencyCode
            }
            postedAmount {
              value
              currencyCode
            }
            createdAt
