# Identifiers

This action retrieves a list of document identifiers and optionally performs an action on them (currently only the `collect` action is available). Do not use this action to perform queries that IDOL Server can process more efficiently.

    http://host:port/action=Fetch&FetchAction=Identifiers
                                [&Config=Base64_Config]
                                 &ConfigSection=Section_Name
                                [&Identifiersaction=Collect
                                      &Destination=UNC_Path
                                     [&CollectActions=Document_Action_CSV]]
                                 &Connector-specific-Parameters
                                [&Override_Config_Parameters]

Type: Asynchronous

Parameter Name | Description | Required
--- | --- | ---
`Config` | A base-64 encoded configuration. The configuration parameters that are set override the same parameters in the connector's configuration file. | No
`ConfigSection` | The name of the configuration file section containing the task settings. | Yes
`IdentifiersAction` | The name of the action to perform on the returned identifiers. If this action must be passed additional parameters, specify them as parameters to this action. | No
`Connector-specific_Parameters` | Additional parameters that are connector-specific and determine which identifiers to return. | Yes
`Override_Config_Parameters` | Any other action parameters that you set override settings in the connector's configuration file. For example:
    /action=fetch&fetchaction=...
                 &[Section]Parameter=Value
where `[Section]` (optional) is the name of a configuration file section, `Parameter` is the name of a configuration parameter, and `Value` is the parameter value. | No

## Example

    http://localhost:1234/action=Fetch&FetchAction=Identifiers&ConfigSection=DIR1

## Response

As this is an asynchronous action, you receive a token in response to the request. A sample response to the action (as retrieved using the `QueueInfo` action) appears below.

The response shows that the action has completed. The identifiers are listed in between the `<identifiers>` tags.
