Getting Started with Inventor API

[Anonymous]

Hello,

I'm new to working with APIs but not new to programming. I've created several programs to do simple tasks with the Inventor API; draw a sketch, adjust parameters, record data from iProperties, etc. I found many examples online for simple programs like this, but would like to transition into more complicated programs. The problem is that the only real reference materials I have are the examples I find online and the Inventor object model (which I attached, for reference). But the object model does not tell me about the methods and variables contained in each object, only the names of the objects. 

Is there a useful reference document that tells me information such as the methods each object can perform, the arguments to those methods, the variables contained in the objects, etc for every available object?

I have tried to install the Inventor developer tools, but I get an error that says "There is a problem with this Windows Installer package. A script required for this install to complete could not be run. Contact your support personnel or package vendor." I don't even know if the information I'm looking for is contained within the developer tools. Any insight would be appreciated, either some direction for my research or a link to the reference material would be fantastic.

Thank you

Thank you! The object browser is what I was looking for. If anyone else is looking for the same answer, I attached a screenshot of your post.
