# Retrieving Guest and Common Entrances

> Learn how to fetch various types of entrances to help provide more context for your app users.

You can retrieve lists of entrances. You may want to display entrances categorized by type to provide more context to your app users. To fetch only guest or common entrances, filter using the `visionline_metadata.door_category` property for entrances. The value for this property is set within the Visionline ACS.

## Fetch Guest Entrances

To fetch only guest entrances, filter entrances to include only those with a `visionline_metadata.properties.door_category` of `guest`.

<CodeGroup>
  ```python Python theme={null}
  all_entrances = seam.acs.entrances.list(
    acs_system_id=acs_system.acs_system_id
  )

  # Filter for entrances with the guest entrance category type.

  guest_entrance_category_types = ["guest"]

  def filter_entrances_by_profile_type(entrance_list, category_types):
  guest_entrances = []
  for entrance in entrance_list:
  if entrance["visionline_metadata"]["door_category"] in category_types:
  guest_entrances.append(entrance)
  return guest_entrances

  guest_entrances = filter_entrances_by_profile_type(
  all_entrances,
  guest_entrance_category_types
  )

  ```
</CodeGroup>

## Fetch Common Entrances

To fetch only common entrances, filter entrances to include only those with a `visionline_metadata.properties.door_category` of `common` or `common (PMS)`.

<CodeGroup>
  ```python Python theme={null}
  all_entrances = seam.acs.entrances.list(
    acs_system_id=acs_system.acs_system_id
  )

  # Filter for entrances with the common entrance category types.
  common_entrance_category_types = ["common", "common (PMS)"]

  def filter_entrances_by_profile_type(entrance_list, category_types):
      common_entrances = []
      for entrance in entrance_list:
          if entrance["visionline_metadata"]["door_category"] in category_types:
              common_entrances.append(entrance)
      return common_entrances

  common_entrances = filter_entrances_by_profile_type(
      all_entrances,
      common_entrance_category_types
  )
  ```
