Similarly, whenever you run the poll utility, you see in real time the logs
for any actions running on your behalf in OpenWhisk.
+## Getting actions
+
+Metadata that describes existing actions can be retrieved via the `wsk action
get` command.
+
+```
+wsk action get hello
+ok: got action hello
+{
+ "namespace": "[email protected]",
+ "name": "hello",
+ "version": "0.0.1",
+ "exec": {
+ "kind": "nodejs:6",
+ "binary": false
+ },
+ "annotations": [
+ {
+ "key": "exec",
+ "value": "nodejs:6"
+ }
+ ],
+ "limits": {
+ "timeout": 60000,
+ "memory": 256,
+ "logs": 10
+ },
+ "publish": false
+}
+```
+
+### Getting an action URL
+
+An action can be invoked through the REST interface via an HTTPS request. To
get an action URL, execute the following command:
+
+```
+wsk action get actionName --url
+```
+```
+ok: got action actionName
+https://${APIHOST}/api/v1/namespaces/${NAMESPACE}/actions/actionName
+```
+
+**Note:** Authentication must be provided when invoking an action via an HTTPS
request. For more information regarding
+action invocations using the REST interface, see
+[Using REST APIs with OpenWhisk](rest_api.md#actions).
+
+### Saving action code
+
+Code associated with an existing action is fetched and saved locally. Saving
is performed on all actions except sequences and docker actions. When saving
action code to a file, the code is saved in the current working directory, and
the saved file path is displayed.
