##### The retroactive inquiry helps acquirer to retrieve list of termination inquiry matches made within 360 days of inquiry initiation.

POST {{baseUrl}}/retro/retro-list?Format=JSON

Return the summary of Retroactive Inquiry matches for the given Acquirer. Even if initial inquiry (TerminationInquiryRequest) does not result in a possible match, there after it's still possible that the merchant listing could appear sometime in the next 360 days. This may occur when another/same acquirer enters the merchant into the MATCH database. The system will automatically continue to search the MATCH system for 360 days. To view these notifications, acquirers must use the Retroactive Inquiry service. For further details refer the documentation on Use Cases.

Note:

(a)  Each day, MATCH automatically conducts a retroactive Inquiry search on every merchant on which the acquirer has submitted an inquiry. MATCH automatically deletes each retroactive inquiry match after seven days. Therefore, acquirers should view retroactive inquiries every day to be sure that they do not miss a possible match.
(b)  When there are no results for RetroActive inquiry, users will get in response HTTP status code of 400 and a response code of “RESPONSEDATANORESULT”. For information around all error codes refer Code and Formats documentation page

To understand the working of RetroActive API use case, follow the steps mentioned below:
1.  Acquirer A (AcquirerId = 1996) uses a TerminationInquiryRequest for a merchant “X Inc”  but doesn’t find a match.
2.  Within the next 360 days, same/another Acquirer (use same AcquirerId = 1996, as we have only one acquirer in sandbox) adds a terminated merchant “X Inc”, who matches the search parameters used by Acquirer A. 
3.  After adding the merchant, it takes one day for Match Service to process retroactive inquiry match.
4.  Post processing, within the next 7 days, Acquirer A should use the Retroactive Inquiry API to retrieve a list of retroactive matches. 
5.  This list of retroactive inquiry matches includes an Inquiry reference number, which the Acquirer A can use to get more details of match using RetroActive Inquiry Details API.
