Direct API Access

Direct API Access documents the endpoints exposed by Method’s internal services for engineers who need to read, write, or manipulate platform data at a level below the public Method SDK.

This first cut covers the workflow customers most often need first: searching for objects, loading them, and filtering by time. That maps to two services in the Ontology Gateway:

• Object Set Service — find an object set and list its member IDs.
• Object Service — load individual objects, search them, and inspect their history at a given timestamp or version.

Additional services will be added as customer needs expand.

This section is endpoint reference only. For installation, authentication setup, and runnable example code, see the customer-facing client distribution provided by Method.

When to use Direct API access vs. the Method SDK

Method ships two ways to talk to the platform programmatically:

If you are not sure which to use, start with the Method SDK. Reach for Direct API access when the SDK does not expose what you need.
