Low-level API
=============

The main object-orientated API is built on top of :py:class:`APIClient`. Each method on :py:class:`APIClient` maps one-to-one with a REST API endpoint, and returns the response that the API responds with.

It's possible to use :py:class:`APIClient` directly. Some basic things (e.g. running a container) consist of several API calls and are complex to do with the low-level API, but it's useful if you need extra flexibility and power.
