[action_name] is the action you want to perform on the requested service (i.e. getVendors),
[key] is the API key you received when you signed up (i.e. F987835F05F4CA12F610DBA1D7C19),
[parameters] are parameters, mandatory or optional, passed to the requested service.
For every call, the version, service_name, action_name, key parameters are all required.
HTTP Basic Authentication is used to authenticate to the API (to learn more see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Basic_access_authentication).
