The HTTP specification defines a request method called OPTIONS. The specification describes this method as follows:

This method allows the client to determine the options and/or requirements associated with a resource, or the capabilities of a server, without implying a resource action or initiating a resource retrieval.

The SmugMug API supports the OPTIONS method. You can use it to find out what other methods an endpoint supports and what parameters those methods accept. This information will be found under the Options key in the response. You can get the same data alongside any other API response by using the _verbosity parameter.
