What to Check Before Calling a MethodWhat to Check Before Calling a Method

Application Context. The method app.info only works within the context of the application. Otherwise, the method will return an ACCESS_DENIED error.

Method Availability. For new integrations, use method.get. This method shows whether it exists on the account and if it can be called with the current permissions.

Account Functionality. The method feature.get is needed when behavior depends on scope and account functionality.

Access Permissions. The method access.name decodes ACCESS codes used by, for example, user.access. User permissions, rather than application permissions, are checked by user.access.

Application Permissions. The method scope returns the scope of the current application. The values of scope codes are described on the available scopes page.

User. The method profile retrieves basic data about the current user. The methods user.access and user.admin check access codes and user permissions.
