I created a transfer

```auto
        url = "https://api-sandbox.dwolla.com/transfers"
        payload = json.dumps({
            '_links': {
                'source': {
                    'href': 'https://api-sandbox.dwolla.com/funding-sources/c70e362a-0961-4cf2-a736-67ce5fdda207'
                },
                'destination': {
                    'href': 'https://api-sandbox.dwolla.com/funding-sources/9adc5756-e06c-45b7-9714-9be690483a57'
                }
            },
            'amount': {
                'currency': 'USD',
                'value': '2.00'
            }
        })

```

and list all the transfers using “[https://api-sandbox.dwolla.com/accounts/9adc5756-e06c-45b7-9714-9be690483a57/transfers](https://api-sandbox.dwolla.com/accounts/9adc5756-e06c-45b7-9714-9be690483a57/transfers)” API I am getting a response as follows

    }
}

```

What I am not able to understand is, why there is

- /accounts link in the destination and no destination\_funding\_source link in the first transfer
- /customer in the destination for the second transfer

_ **I am not able to fully grasp the flow for a transaction** _  
and _ **I also need to know how can I identify whether the transfer is a credit or debit** _  
So can you please help me with that!

Thanks 😁

Hi @Ankit

There are multiple legs to a single transfer. I commented your response code for `https://api-sandbox.dwolla.com/accounts/9adc5756-e06c-45b7-9714-9be690483a57/transfers` for some clarity, although `9adc5756-e06c-45b7-9714-9be690483a57` is a customer’s funding source, not an accountid.

The response lists all transaction associated with the funding source `9adc5756-e06c-45b7-9714-9be690483a5`

Below I commented the first transaction

```auto

                }
                    

```

There are no more legs to this transfer because its status is still `pending`. Once you click on the `process bank transfer` button in the sandbox, you should see all the legs of this transfer.
