property in the model definition is set, some of the methods cannot be invoked. The actions
property restricts which CRUD operations can be invoked on the models.

Retrieve an instance to API Builder using the
request.server
property. -
Retrieve the Model instance using API Builder’s
getModel
(name
) method by passing it the name of the model. -
Invoke one of the following methods on the Model instance and pass it a callback function, which is passed an
error
