A client API represents a piece of code that can be invoked through the configuration of a method. The client API represents actual lines of code in the client that performs a generic function. A configured method applies further specifics to the execution of that code through method parameters or arguments. For example, the CreateObj client API generically handles the creation of objects. However, you can modify the method parameters to create specific items, such as Create Folder.

The following section provides information about navigating to client APIs and their methods in HxGN SDx.
