# Content & Configuration Reads Meter API Description

> Reference list of PlayFab Admin and Client APIs for entity files, actions, rules, and title news that increment the Content & Configuration reads meter.

Content & Configuration files include the following items: entity files, actions, rules, scheduled tasks, matchmaking, push notifications, emails, and title news. Content & Configuration files are a set of key/value pairs that are primarily used to manage configuration for your game remotely.

The following APIs cause the Content & Configuration reads meter to increment.

## Admin APIs

* [GetContentUploadUrl](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/rest/api/services/playfab/admin/content/get-content-upload-url?view=playfab-rest\&preserve-view=true) Retrieves the pre-signed URL for uploading a content file. A subsequent HTTP PUT to the returned URL uploads the content. Also, please be aware that the Content service is specifically PlayFab's CDN offering, for which standard CDN rates apply
* [GetActionsOnPlayersInSegmentTaskInstance](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/rest/api/services/playfab/admin/scheduled-task/get-actions-on-players-in-segment-task-instance?view=playfab-rest\&preserve-view=true) Get information about a ActionsOnPlayersInSegment task instance.
