API Method: StartActionByGetAndWait

This method is also a very easy way to quickly start an action, but it waits for the action to finish before returning the result. This is useful if you want to get the output of the action or check its result without having to poll for it.

HTTP Method: GET
Request Type: Action ID in the URL
Response Type: Log Entry (waits for the action to finish)
