# 🛠️ How can I get the schema for an Action?

> Guide to get the schema for an Action

### When will I need to provide input parameters?

When executing actions without agents, you'll need to provide the input parameters. There are two ways to obtain these parameters:

1. Programmatically using our SDK
2. Using the [API Section](/api-reference/actions/get-action) of our documentation

<Tabs>
  <Tab title="SDK">
    Install packages:

    <CodeGroup>
      ```bash Python
      pip install composio-openai
      ```

      ```bash JavaScript
      npm install composio-core
      ```
    </CodeGroup>

    Import libraries & get action schema:

    <CodeGroup>
      ```python Python 
      from composio import ComposioToolSet, Action
      import json

      composio_toolset = ComposioToolSet()

      # Get the action schema
      action_schema = composio_toolset.get_action_schemas(actions=[Action.GITHUB_STAR_A_REPOSITORY_FOR_THE_AUTHENTICATED_USER])

      # Print the parameters in a readable format
      print(json.dumps(action_schema[0].parameters.properties, indent=2))
      ```

      ```javascript JavaScript
      import { OpenAIToolSet } from "composio-core";

      const composio_toolset = new OpenAIToolSet();

      const schema = await composio_toolset.getActionsSchema({
        actions: ["github_star_a_repository_for_the_authenticated_user"],
      });

      console.log(JSON.stringify(schema[0].parameters.properties, null, 2));
      ```
    </CodeGroup>

    ```bash Output
    {
      "owner": {
        "description": "The account owner of the repository. The name is not case sensitive. Please provide a value of type string. This parameter is required.",
        "title": "Owner",
        "type": "string"
      },
      "repo": {
        "description": "The name of the repository without the `.git` extension. The name is not case sensitive. Please provide a value of type string. This parameter is required.",
        "title": "Repo",
        "type": "string"
      }
    }
    ```
  </Tab>

    1. Navigate to the [API Section](/api-reference/actions/get-action) of our documentation
    2. Click on **Get Action** under the **Actions** category
    3. Enter your Composio API key and the Action ID
    4. The **parameters** attribute in the response contains the required parameters for executing the action
