# Send Actions by Using a GET Method

You can use GET requests to send actions that retrieve information from HPE IDOL Speech Server.

When you send an action using a GET method, you use a URL of the form:

    http://host:port/?action=action&parameters

where:

`host` | is the IP address or name of the machine where HPE IDOL Speech Server is installed.
`port` | is the HPE IDOL Speech Server ACI port.
`action` | is the name of the action that you want to run. The `action` (or `a`) parameter must be the first parameter in the URL string, directly after the host and port details.
`parameters` | are the required and optional parameters for the action. These parameters can follow the `action` parameter in any order.

You must:

- Separate each parameter from its value with an equals symbol (`=`).
- Separate multiple values with a comma (`,`).
- Separate each parameter-value pair with an ampersand (`&`).

For more information about the actions that you can use with HPE IDOL Speech Server, refer to the HPE IDOL Speech Server Reference.

GET requests can send only limited amounts of data and cannot send files directly. However, you can set a parameter to a file path if the file is on a file system that HPE IDOL Speech Server can access. HPE IDOL Speech Server must also be able to read the file.
