# Action Syntax

The actions use the following syntax:

    http://Host:Port/action=ActionName&[Parameters]

where,

`Host` | The IP address (or name) of the machine hosting the service.
`Port` | The `ServicePort` specified in the `[Service]` section of the service’s configuration file.
`ActionName` | One of the actions described in this section.
`Parameters` | One or more parameters that might be required by an action. You must percent-encode all parameter values.

For example:

    http://12.3.4.56:40010/action=GetConfig

This action uses port `40010` to request the service’s configuration file settings.
