+Inspecting the available API
+............................
+
+.. highlight:: python
+
+Thanks to Python's introspection primitives, it is possible to inspect
+the API of the ``orthanc`` module in order to dump all the available
+features::
+
+  import inspect
+  import numbers
+  import orthanc
+
+  # Loop over the members of the "orthanc" module
+  for (name, obj) in inspect.getmembers(orthanc):
+      if inspect.isroutine(obj):
+          print('Function %s():\n  Documentation: %s\n' % (name, inspect.getdoc(obj)))
+
+      elif inspect.isclass(obj):
+          print('Class %s:\n  Documentation: %s' % (name, inspect.getdoc(obj)))
+
+          # Loop over the members of the class
+          for (subname, subobj) in inspect.getmembers(obj):
+              if isinstance(subobj, numbers.Number):
+                  print('  - Enumeration value %s: %s' % (subname, subobj))
+              elif (not subname.startswith('_') and
+                    inspect.ismethoddescriptor(subobj)):
+                  print('  - Method %s(): %s' % (subname, inspect.getdoc(subobj)))
+          print('')
