Synchronous and Asynchronous Actions

Some actions are synchronous and others are asynchronous.

A connector does not respond to a synchronous action until it has completed the request. The result of the action is in the response to the request.

A connector responds to an asynchronous action immediately. The request is added to a queue of actions. The response to the request contains a token. You can use this token to determine whether the request has finished, and obtain the results of the action. To do this, use the QueueInfo action.

Asynchronous Action Example

http://localhost:1234/action=Fetch&FetchAction=Synchronize
