# GetBotAction

The GetBotAction class allows to perform GET requests on the `/api/bots/:id` path of BotBlock.
The methods require a valid Bot ID (Either as Long or String) to be provided.

Note

All requests are getting cached for 2 minutes to prevent possible rate limits.
If you want to disable this, use `GetBotAction(true)`.
We do not recommend using this without any rate limit or caching in place!

## Disable caching

If you want to disable caching, will you need to add a boolean to the `GetBotAction` constructor like this:

    // "true" disables the internal caching.
    GetBotAction getBotAction = new GetBotAction(true, "BotId");
